Audiogrep

Audiogrep transcribes audio files and then creates "audio supercuts" based on search phrases. It uses CMU Pocketsphinx for speech-to-text and pydub to stitch things together.

Here's some sample output.

##Requirements Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/antiboredom/audiogrep.git

Install the python requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install ffmpeg with Ogg/Vorbis support. If you're on a mac with homebrew you can install ffmpeg with:

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis

Finally, install CMU Pocketsphinx. For mac users I followed these instructions to get it working:

brew tap watsonbox/cmu-sphinx
brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-sphinxbase
brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-sphinxtrain # optional
brew install --HEAD watsonbox/cmu-sphinx/cmu-pocketsphinx

##How to use it First, transcribe the audio (you'll only need to do this once per audio track, but it can take some time)

# transcribes all mp3s in the selected folder
python audiogrep.py --input path/to/*.mp3 --transcribe

Then, basic use:

# returns all phrases with the word 'word' in them
python audiogrep.py --input path/to/*.mp3 --search 'word'

The previous example will extract phrase chunks containing the search term, but you can also just get individual words:

python audiogrep.py --input path/to/*.mp3 --search 'word' --output-mode word

If you add the '--regex' flag you can use regular expressions. For example:

# creates a supercut of every instance of the words "spectre", "haunting" and "europe"
python audiogrep.py --input path/to/*.mp3 --search 'spectre|haunting|europe' --output-mode word

You can also construct 'frankenstein' sentences (mileage may vary):

# stupid joke
python audiogrep.py --input path/to/*.mp3 --search 'my voice is my passport' --output-mode franken

###Options

audiogrep can take a number of options:

####--input / -i mp3 file or pattern for input

####--output / -o Name of the file to generate. By default this is "supercut.mp3"

####--search / -s Search term

####--output-mode / -m Splice together phrases, single words, or "frankenstein" sentences. Options are:

• sentence: (this is the default)
• word
• franken

####--padding / -p Time in milliseconds to add between audio segments. Default is 0.

####--crossfade / -c Time in milliseconds to crossfade audio segments. Default is 0.

####--demo / -d Show the results of the search without outputing a file
