pip install pypar
Word and phoneme alignment representation for speech tasks. This repo does
not perform forced word or phoneme alignment, but provides an interface
for working with the resulting alignment of a forced aligner, such as
pyfoal, or a manual alignment.

If you already have the alignment saved to a json, mlf, or TextGrid
file, pass the name of the file. Valid examples of each format can be found in
test/assets/.
alignment = pypar.Alignment(file)Alignments can be created manually from Word and Phoneme objects. Start and
end times are given in seconds.
# Create a word from phonemes
word = pypar.Word(
'THE',
[pypar.Phoneme('DH', 0., .03), pypar.Phoneme('AH0', .03, .06)])
# Create a silence
silence = pypar.Word(pypar.SILENCE, pypar.Phoneme(pypar.SILENCE, .06, .16))
# Make an alignment
alignment = pypar.Alignment([word, silence])You can create a new alignment from existing alignments via slicing and concatenation.
# Slice
first_two_words = alignment[:2]
# Concatenate
alignment_with_repeat = first_two_words + alignmentTo retrieve a list of words in the alignment, use alignment.words().
To retrieve a list of phonemes, use alignment.phonemes(). The Alignment,
Word, and Phoneme objects all define .start(), .end(), and
.duration() methods, which return the start time, end time, and duration,
respectively. All times are given in units of seconds. These objects also
define equality checks via ==, casting to string with str(), and iteration
as follows.
# Iterate over words
for word in alignment:
# Access start and end times
assert word.duration() == word.end() - word.start()
# Iterate over phonemes in word
for phoneme in word:
# Access string representation
assert isinstance(str(phoneme), str)To access a word or phoneme at a specific time, pass the time in seconds to
alignment.word_at_time or alignment.phoneme_at_time.
To retrieve the frame indices of the start and end of a word or phoneme, pass
the audio sampling rate and hopsize (in samples) to alignment.word_bounds or
alignment.phoneme_bounds.
To save an alignment to disk, use alignment.save(file), where file is the
desired filename. pypar currently supports saving as a json or TextGrid
file.
