# Yorùbá Voice Speech Recorder
App for recording speech utterances dictated from text prompts. Speaker name, audio-recording path & prompt text are saved to a metadata file. Use it for building speech recognition and speech synthesis corpora for training and evaluation.
## Developer setup
* **Prerequisites**: `git`, `python3` & `brew`
* `git clone` this repo, `cd` into the repo directory
* run installation script: `$ ./scripts/install.sh`
* start app: `$ ./scripts/start.sh`
### Caveats
`pyAudio`, the audio library used for recording audio, requires portaudio to be installed on the system.
The easiest way is with brew
```
brew install portaudio
```
`portaudio` library may be installed in a custom location depending on your package manager `brew` or `macports`, or depending on your computer's hardware
`arm64` vs Intel `x86`. In all cases, we must specify the location of headers and libraries, with `CPPFLAGS` & `LDFLAGS`.
This is already done within the `./install.sh` script, but may need to be modified based on the above :point_up:
For reference on
- **M1 Macs**: `CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/lib" pip3 install -e .`
- **Older Intel Macs**: `CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" pip3 install -e .`
- **Macports**: `CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib" pip3 install -e .`
