create audacity label file

[abelbabel]

Hi,

with this perl-script you can convert output of the main-program (under linux/unix-like OSes with pipe and output redirection support), so that you can use it as a label file to be used with audacity

sub convert_timestamp {
  my $rval = 0.0;
  my ($hour,$min,$sec) = $_[0] =~ /(.+):(.+):(.+)/;

  $rval = $hour * 60 * 60;
  $rval = $rval + $min * 60;
  $rval = $rval + $sec;

  return $rval;
}

while (<>) {
  my ($from, $to, $text) = $_ =~ /^\[([\d:\.]+)\s--\>\s([\d:\.]+)\]\s(.+)/;
  next if not defined($from);

  printf("%.6f\t%.6f\t%s\n", convert_timestamp($from), convert_timestamp($to), $text);
}

If you have that script in file convert_to_audacity_label.pl for example, you can use it like this

$ ./main -m models/ggml-tiny.bin -f samples/mm0.wav | ./convert_to_audacity_label.pl

or this

$ ./main -m models/ggml-tiny.bin -f samples/mm0.wav | ./convert_to_audacity_label.pl > mm0_labels.txt

and get this result (the label file content):

0.000000        3.120000          This is the micro machine representing the most miniature motorcade of Michael the team.
3.120000        6.080000          Each one has dramatic details for a fixed-rim position, page-art plus incredible micro machine
6.080000        8.640000          pocketplace that says a police station fire station restaurant, service station, and more.
8.640000        11.440000         Perfect pocket portable to take any place and there are many miniature places to play with.
11.440000       14.400000         Each one comes with its own special edition, micro machine vehicle and fun fantastic features that
14.400000       15.200000         miraculously move.
15.200000       18.000000         Raise the bolt lift at the airport Marina Man, the gun turret at the Army base, clean your car at the
18.000000       19.200000         car wash, raise the toldbridge.
19.200000       21.120000         And these places fit together to form a micro machine world.
21.120000       23.280000         Micro machine pocketplace that's so tremendously tiny, so perfectly precise.
23.280000       25.200000         So, doesn't we detail Joe on a pocket the mall?
25.200000       27.600000         Micro machines and micro machine pocketplace that's sold separately from Gloob.
27.600000       29.280000         The smaller they are, the better they are.

which then can be imported into audacity (via File -> Import -> Labels ...) along with the transcribed wave-file

The approach might be useful to convert into other file formats (after proper adaption).
