TrsToKaldi

Converts Transcriber .trs files to corpus input files for Kaldi

The participant genders from the Transcriber transcripts are used, if present, to generate the spk2gender file. The following participant meta-data is lost during conversion:

  • dialect
  • accent
  • scope
  • version
  • version date
  • air date
  • scribe
  • language

The following Transcriber annotations are lost during conversion:

  • phrase language annotations
  • named entity annotations
  • comments
  • noises
  • lexical tags
  • pronounce tags

By default, all words are converted to lowercase, and extraneous punctuation is removed. To disable this behaviour, use the –cleanOrthography=false command line switch.
