A python library to read and write a subset of TextGrid file format

TonkineseGrid for TextGrid file format

This is a python library that can read and write a subset of TextGrid file format, with full type hint, and some extra methods to manipulate intervals.

Notice that this library does not support read file that contains TextTier class. Also this a side project has no full test of the codebase, therefore it is not production ready. Please use it at your own risk

Updates

• 2024-10-19 short format and utf-16 encoding is supported in both reading and saving

• 2024-11-05

  • add better error messages while reading TextGrid files
  • add two methods in IntervalTier, extend() and extend_from()
  • add format parameter in TextGrid.read() to specify whether it is full or short format.

Basic Usage

Get started with installing the package.

pip install tonkinese_grid

Then you can use it like the following.

from tonkinese_grid import TextGrid

textgrid = TextGrid.read("file.TextGrid")
for items in textgrid:
    for interval in items:
        print(interval)

new = TextGrid(0, 2.5)
new.append_new(0, 2.5, "words")
new[0].append_new(0, 1, "hello")
new[0].append_new(1, 2.5, "world")
new.save("HelloWorld.TextGrid")
