Introduction
Python wrapper for Kaldi's native I/O. The internal implementation
uses C++ code from Kaldi.
A Python wrapper with pybind11
is provided to read ark/scp files from Kaldi in Python.
Note: This project is self-contained and does not depend on Kaldi
.

Usage
Table readers and writers
Write
Create a writer
instance with a wspecifier
and use writer[key] = value
.
For instance, the following code uses kaldi_native_io.FloatMatrixWriter
to
write kaldi::Matrix<float>
to a wspecifier
.
import numpy as np
import kaldi_native_io
base = "float_matrix"
wspecifier = f"ark,scp,t:{base}.ark,{base}.scp"
def test_float_matrix_writer():
with kaldi_native_io.FloatMatrixWriter(wspecifier) as ko:
ko.write("a", np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=np.float32))
ko["b"] = np.array([[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60]], dtype=np.float32)
Read
Sequential Read
Create a sequential reader instance with an rspecifier
and use for key, value in reader
to read the file.
For instance, the following code uses kaldi_native_io.SequentialFloatMatrixReader
to
read kaldi::Matrix<float>
from an rspecifier
.
import numpy as np
import kaldi_native_io
base = "float_matrix"
rspecifier = f"scp:{base}.scp"
def test_sequential_float_matrix_reader():
with kaldi_native_io.SequentialFloatMatrixReader(rspecifier) as ki:
for key, value in ki:
if key == "a":
assert np.array_equal(
value, np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=np.float32)
)
elif key == "b":
assert np.array_equal(
value,
np.array([[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60]], dtype=np.float32),
)
else:
raise ValueError(f"Unknown key {key} with value {value}")
Random Access Read
Create a random access reader instance with an rspecifier
and use reader[key]
to read the file.
For instance, the following code uses kaldi_native_io.RandomAccessFloatMatrixReader
to
read kaldi::Matrix<float>
from an rspecifier
.
import numpy as np
import kaldi_native_io
base = "float_matrix"
rspecifier = f"scp:{base}.scp"
def test_random_access_float_matrix_reader():
with kaldi_native_io.RandomAccessFloatMatrixReader(rspecifier) as ki:
assert "b" in ki
assert "a" in ki
assert np.array_equal(
ki["a"], np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]], dtype=np.float32)
)
assert np.array_equal(
ki["b"], np.array([[10, 20, 30], [40, 50, 60]], dtype=np.float32)
)
There are unit tests for all supported types. Please visit
