Alisa for alignment

[Giorgia M]

Hello, I am using Alisa to do segmentation and alignment.

I have labelled with silence the first wav, which is aprox 13 minutes, and converted the labels to the required format using the script convertWavesurferLabels.py

I have created my own copy of the template config file, and when I run it I get this error: “Not enough input filenames specified”.

I have emulated what was done with the example wav and text files in the Alisa toolkit. I have 1 wav file labelled with silence. The text file is of the full book. The rest of the wav files (one for each book chapter) are in the rawWavs folder.

Thanks

Remember that you can modify (and improve!) the code. Here, it looks like you should add some debugging around the place where the error occurs. For example, print out the sox command just before executing it.
