SPANCAT
NAME
spaned - speech editing controlled by annotations
SYNOPSIS
spaned
(-w overlapwidth) (-c) control-file outfile
DESCRIPTION
spaned
is a program to concatenate a number of speech segments
from different files into a single speech signal controlled by times
or annotations listed in a control file.
The control file consists of one line per speech section to process
giving (i) the filename, (ii) the items to copy (separated by '/'),
(iii) the annotation item,
(iv) the start annotation or time, (v) the end annotation or time. If the
item numbers are not given, the last appropriate item in the file
is chosen. If no start time or annotation is given then it defaults
to the start of the item. If no end time or annotation is given it defaults
to the end of the annotated region if a start annotation is supplied,
or otherwise to the end of the item. Items should be separated by commas.
To prevent clicks signals are slightly overlapped and weighted by a
raised cosine window,
Speech items must match in sampling rate.
