speech-training-recorder

Simple GUI application to help record audio dictated from given text prompts, for use with training speech recognition or speech synthesis.

Given a text file containing prompts, this app will choose a random selection and ordering of them, display them to be dictated by the user, and record the dictation audio and metadata to a .wav file and recorder.tsv file respectively. You can select a previous recording to play it back, delete it, and/or re-record it.

Requirements:

• Python 3
• See requirements.txt for required packages
• Cross platform: Windows, Linux, MacOS

Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/daanzu/speech-training-recorder.git
cd speech-training-recorder
mkdir ../audio_data
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 recorder.py -p prompts/timit.txt

usage: recorder.py [-h] [-p PROMPTS_FILENAME] [-d SAVE_DIR] [-c PROMPTS_COUNT]
                   [-l PROMPT_LEN_SOFT_MAX] [-o]

Given a text file containing prompts, this app will choose a random selection
and ordering of them, display them to be dictated by the user, and record the
dictation audio and metadata to a `.wav` file and `recorder.tsv` file
respectively.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -p PROMPTS_FILENAME, --prompts_filename PROMPTS_FILENAME
                        file containing prompts to choose from
  -d SAVE_DIR, --save_dir SAVE_DIR
                        where to save .wav & recorder.tsv files (default:
                        ../audio_data)
  -c PROMPTS_COUNT, --prompts_count PROMPTS_COUNT
                        number of prompts to select and display (default: 100)
  -l PROMPT_LEN_SOFT_MAX, --prompt_len_soft_max PROMPT_LEN_SOFT_MAX
  -o, --ordered         present prompts in order, as opposed to random
                        (default: False)

Customization

See prompts/ directory for acceptable formats for prompt files: the simplest is rainbow_passage.txt.

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "" even though it was found.

when i runned the command : python recorder.py -p prompts/timit.txt
i have this :
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "" even though it was found.
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: direct2d, minimal, offscreen, windows.
