SAC (Semantic Audio Companion)

Sac is a python command line tool based on Sox which splits wave files using time boundaries defined in a labels file and afterwards concatenates them according to their class identifiers.

Installation

  • Install Python
  • Install Sox
  • Install Sac pip install sac

To verify that you have a working sac installation do:

sac -h

and you should see the following output

usage: sac [-h] {split-wav,concat-wav,split-concat-wav} ...

positional arguments:
  {split-wav,concat-wav,split-concat-wav}
    split-wav           Splits a wave files in segments using boundaries and
                        class names provided in a labels file
    concat-wav          Combines wav files generated using the split-wav
                        command.
    split-concat-wav    Splits and combines multiple wav files.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

Example

Lets suppose that we have the following labels-wavs.txt file and we want to generate the concatenated wav files under the output dir. The contents of the labels-wavs.txt should be relative to itself.

audio_1.labels.txt,audio_1.wav
audio_2.labels.txt,audio_2.wav

We run:

sac split-concat-wav -i path/to/labels-wavs.txt -o output

If our label files look like the following:

25.407824	27.037760	v
28.571817	29.530603	v
33.653382	35.762711	v
49.665105	53.596127	m
55.417820	56.664242	v
116.013084	118.601806	v

Then we expect the output directory to contain the following files:

concat_m.wav    
concat_v.wav
