Examples

Reading feature scp example:

import kaldi_io
for key,mat in kaldi_io.read_mat_scp(file):
  ...

Writing feature ark to file/stream:

import kaldi_io
with open(ark_file,'wb') as f:
  for key,mat in dict.iteritems():
    kaldi_io.write_mat(f, mat, key=key)

Writing features as 'ark,scp' by pipeline with 'copy-feats':

import kaldi_io
ark_scp_output='ark:| copy-feats --compress=true ark:- ark,scp:data/feats2.ark,data/feats2.scp'
with kaldi_io.open_or_fd(ark_scp_output,'wb') as f:
  for key,mat in dict.iteritems():
    kaldi_io.write_mat(f, mat, key=key)

Install

• from pypi:

pip install kaldi_io`

• from sources:

git clone https://github.com/vesis84/kaldi-io-for-python.git <kaldi-io-dir>`
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install --editable .

Note: it is recommended to set export KALDI_ROOT=<some_kaldi_dir> environment variable. The I/O based on pipes can then contain kaldi binaries.
