buckeye 1.3

Classes and iterators for the Buckeye Corpus

This package is for iterating through the Buckeye Corpus annotations in Python. It uses the annotation timestamps to cross-reference the .words, .phones, and .log files, and can be used to extract sound clips from the .wav files. It is tested to work with Python 2.7 and 3.6.

Usage

There is a short guide to using the package in the Quickstart notebook, and the docstrings in buckeye.py, containers.py, and utterance.py have more detail.

Installation

The package can be installed from PyPI with pip with this command:

pip install buckeye

The latest version can also be installed from GitHub with pip with this command:

pip install git+http://github.com/scjs/buckeye.git

You can also copy the buckeye subdirectory into your working directory, or put it in your Python path.

Tests

To run the tests, run nosetests from the root directory, or python setup.py test to install the test dependencies first.
