voice

General tools for voice analysis. The voice package is being developed to be an easy-to-use set of tools to deal with audio analysis in R.
It is based on wrassp, tuneR, seewave, gm, as well as Parselmouth - a Python library for the Praat software - and pyannote-audio - an open-source toolkit written in Python for speaker diarization based on PyTorch machine learning framework.

Ubuntu Installation

The following steps were used to configure github.com/filipezabala/voice on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa). Note the software versions during installation, inconsistency reporting is welcome.
> Without the following Python items 3 and 10, you may run all the functions except poetry and extract_features_py, that run respectively pyannote-audio and Parselmouth.

1. Curl

Command line tool and library for transferring data with URLs. Find the latest version at https://curl.se/download.html. At terminal run:

# removing (if necessary) old curl installation
sudo apt remove curl
sudo apt purge curl
# removing (if necessary) the /cdrom folder
sudo sed -i '/cdrom/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
# installing dependencies
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev autoconf libtool make
cd /usr/local/src
rm -rf curl*
# downloading latest version (check before install!)
sudo wget https://curl.se/download/curl-7.81.0.zip
sudo unzip curl-7.81.0.zip
cd curl-7.81.0
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo autoreconf -fi
sudo ./configure --with-ssl 
sudo make
sudo make install
# update the system’s binaries and symbol lookup
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/curl /usr/bin/curl
curl -V

You may take a look at this post if you have a message like WARNING: curl and libcurl versions do not match. Functionality may be affected.
