example audio doesnt work or is missing #12

Describe the bug

EXAMPLE.pdf refers to a "Walker" audio file, but this is not present in the project. There is an audio file "suun3.wav" in myprosody/myprosody/dataset/audioFiles/, the directory expected by myspgend(...) and other demo functions called in testpro.py. Running testpro.py with this path produces many errors saying Try again the sound of the audio was not clear, and the final result printout lists the 25% percentile for every category. Is this expected?

This is python 3.6.3 on MacOSX 10.14.5

I can't get "suun3.wav" to run either. Have you had lucky with any other audio files?

welch commented 4 years ago

i eventually gave up on this code base, too messy to pass audio to it without keeping the directory structure, and wasn't happy with the predictions when I did.

the parselmouth module delivered much of what I needed, and a script at https://osf.io/6dwr3/ gave me speaking rate estimates.

ngc2392 commented 4 years ago

I have come across the parselmouth module but didn't look too much into it. Are you able to get the same metrics using that module that this library is suppose to provide? I much rather use a python library that is as close to the actual Praat software as possible, and it seems like parselmouth is exactly that. Right now, I'm mostly interested in metrics such as articulation rate, speech rate, number of pauses, etc. The fact that you were able to get speaking rate estimates is a good sign.

NOTE:

1- 1- Both My-Voice-Analysis and Myprosody work on Python 3.7 
2- If you install My-Voice-Analysis through PyPi, please use: 
      mysp=__import__("my-voice-analysis") instead of import myspsolution as mysp
3- It it better to keep the folder names as single entities for instance "Name_Folder" or "NameFolder" without space in the dirctoy path
