  • SSHRC Digging Into Data Challenge Grant 869-2009-0004

Usage

The above files are dictionaries that are ready for use with the Prosodylab-Aligner. In order to use them correctly, you will have to specify which dictionary you want to use, and train the Prosodylab-Aligner on a corresponding set of language data, like so:

$ ./align.py -d en.dict -t training/data/directory soundfile/directory

All dictionaries have entries of the form:

WORD P H O N E M E S

where each word is written in all-caps and is followed by a space and the list of its phonemes.
