Gentle

Robust yet lenient forced-aligner built on Kaldi. A tool for aligning speech with text.

Getting Started

There are three ways to install Gentle.

Download the pre-built Mac application. This package includes a GUI that will start the server and a browser. It only works on Mac OS.
Use the Docker image. Just run docker run -P lowerquality/gentle. This works anywhere Docker is installed.
Download the source code and run ./install.sh. Then run python serve.py to start the server. This works on Mac and Linux.

By default, the aligner listens at http://localhost:8765. That page has a graphical interface for transcribing, viewing, and downloading audio.

There is also a REST API so you can use Gentle in your programs. Here's an example of how to use the API with CURL:

curl -F "audio=@audio.mp3" -F "transcript=@words.txt" "http://localhost:8765/transcriptions?async=false"
