pyAcoustics

A collection of python scripts for extracting and analyzing acoustics from audio files.

Common Use Cases

What can you do with this library?

• Extract pitch and intensity:

  pyacoustics.intensity_and_pitch.praat_pi.getPraatPitchAndIntensity()
  

• Extract segments of a wav file:

  pyacoustics.signals.audio_scripts.getSubwav()
  

• Perform simple manipulations on wav files:

  pyacoustics.signals.resampleAudio()
  
  pyacoustics.signals.splitStereoAudio()
  

• Split audio files on segments of silence or on pure tones:

  pyacoustics.speech_detection.split_on_tone.splitFileOnTone()
  

• Programmatically manipulate pitch or duration of a file:

  pyacoustics.morph.morph_utils.praat_pitch()
  

• And more!

Requirements

Many of the individual features require different packages. If you aren't using those packages then you don't need to install the dependencies.

pyacoustics.intensity_and_pitch.praat_pi requires praat

pyacoustics.intensity_and_pitch.get_f0 requires the ESPS getF0 function as implemented by Snack although I recall having difficulty installing it.

pyacoustics.speech_rate/dictionary_estimate.py requires my library psyle

My praatIO library is used extensively and can be downloaded here

Installation

From a command-line shell, navigate to the directory this is located in and type:

python setup.py install

If python is not in your path, you'll need to enter the full path e.g.:

C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
