kalpy-kaldi 0.7.0

Pybind11 bindings for Kaldi for use with the Montreal Forced Aligner

kalpy

Pybind11 bindings for Kaldi for use in Montreal Forced Aligner.

Installation

Kalpy depends on Kaldi being built as shared libraries, and the easiest way to install is via conda-forge:

conda install -c conda-forge kalpy

Kalpy is also available on pip via the kalpy-kaldi package, but as this is only a binding library, it relies on Kaldi shared libraries being available. The KALDI_ROOT environment variable must be set to locate the shared libraries and header files. The easiest way to install the appropriately built kaldi libraries is via conda install -c conda-forge kaldi.

export KALDI_ROOT=/path/to/conda/enviornment
pip install kalpy-kaldi

Usage

Two libraries are installed, _kalpy which contains low level bindings conforming to the original C++ style, and kalpy which is a more pythonic interface for higher level operations. The kalpy package is under heavy development and expansion to expose more functionality.
