gentle
A robust yet lenient forced aligner built on Kaldi for aligning speech audio with text transcripts.
What is gentle?
Gentle is a forced alignment tool that synchronizes speech audio with text transcripts, identifying the precise timing of each spoken word. It is built on the Kaldi speech recognition toolkit, providing accurate alignment even with imperfect transcripts or noisy audio. The tool solves the problem of manually aligning audio and text for applications like transcription validation, subtitling, and linguistic analysis.
Researchers, linguists, and developers working on speech processing, transcription services, or multimedia applications who need to align audio with text programmatically or interactively.
Developers choose Gentle for its balance of robustness from Kaldi's engine and leniency in handling real-world data, along with multiple deployment options including a simple Docker setup and a REST API for easy integration into workflows.
