Installation

pip install textgrid-tools --user

Usage

usage: textgrid-tools-cli [-h] [-v] {grids,grid,tiers,tier,intervals} ...

This program provides methods to modify TextGrids (.TextGrid) and their corresponding audio files (.wav).

positional arguments:
  {grids,grid,tiers,tier,intervals}  description
    grids                            execute commands targeted at multiple grids at once
    grid                             execute commands targeted at single grids
    tiers                            execute commands targeted at multiple tiers at once
    tier                             execute commands targeted at single tiers
    intervals                        execute commands targeted at intervals of tiers

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                         show this help message and exit
  -v, --version                      show program's version number and exit

Development setup

# update
sudo apt update
# install Python 3.8-3.12 for ensuring that tests can be run
sudo apt install python3-pip \
  python3.8 python3.8-dev python3.8-distutils python3.8-venv \
  python3.9 python3.9-dev python3.9-distutils python3.9-venv \
  python3.10 python3.10-dev python3.10-distutils python3.10-venv \
  python3.11 python3.11-dev python3.11-distutils python3.11-venv \
  python3.12 python3.12-dev python3.12-distutils python3.12-venv
# install pipenv for creation of virtual environments
python3.8 -m pip install pipenv --user

# check out repo
git clone https://github.com/stefantaubert/textgrid-ipa.git
cd textgrid-ipa
# create virtual environment
python3.8 -m pipenv install --dev

Running the tests

# first install the tool like in "Development setup"
# then, navigate into the directory of the repo (if not already done)
cd textgrid-ipa
# activate environment
python3.8 -m pipenv shell
# run tests
tox

Final lines of test result output:

py38: commands succeeded
py39: commands succeeded
py310: commands succeeded
py311: commands succeeded
py312: commands succeeded
congratulations :)

Troubleshooting

If recordings/audio files are not in .wav format they need to be converted, e.g.:

sudo apt install ffmpeg -y
# e.g., mp3 to wav conversion
ffmpeg -i *.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 22050 *.wav
