TextGrid alignments #80

Closed rolandomunoz closed 4 years ago

rolandomunoz commented 4 years ago

I have a few thousand words aligned in TextGrid files. Is there a way to use these files as input for segment alignment? I mean, using the time boundaries as the start and end for the first and last segment, instead of creating TextGrid files from the scratch.

Thank you!

No, there's no easy way to exploit word-aligned data. First, the model works at the phones level anyways so that's not enough information even to initialize the model informatively; secondly, there's no easy way to feed it phone information.

Just train it at the utterance level instead, using the -t flag. It almost always works.
