SPTK

The Speech Signal Processing Toolkit (SPTK) is a software for speech signal processing tools.

• Older version: SPTK3
• PyTorch version: diffsptk

Documentation

See this page for a reference manual.

Requirements

• GCC 4.8.5+ / Clang 3.5.0+ / Visual Studio 2015+
• CMake 3.1+

Installation

Linux / macOS

git clone https://github.com/sp-nitech/SPTK.git
cd SPTK
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..  # Please change install directory.
make -j 4 install  # Please change the number of jobs depending on your environment.

Windows

cd /path/to/SPTK  # Please change here to your appropriate path.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..  # Please change install directory.
MSBuild -maxcpucount:4 /p:Configuration=Release INSTALL.vcxproj

Demonstration

• Twitter
• Analysis-synthesis via mel-cepstrum
• Parametric coding via line spectral pairs

Examples

The SPTK provides some examples. Go to an example directory and execute run.sh, e.g.,

cd egs/analysis_synthesis/mgc
./run.sh

The below is a simple example that decreases the volume of input audio in input.wav. You may need to install sox command on your system.

sox -t wav input.wav -c 1 -t s16 -r 16000 - |
    x2x +sd | sopr -m 0.5 | x2x +ds -r |
    sox -c 1 -t s16 -r 16000 - -t wav output.wav

If you would like to draw figures, please prepare a python environment.

cd tools; make venv; cd ..
. ./tools/venv/bin/activate
impulse -l 32 | gseries impulse.png
deactivate

Changes from SPTK3

• Input and output types are changed to double from float
• Signal processing classes are written in C++ instead of C
• Drawing commands are implemented in Python
• No memory leaks
• Thread-safe
• New features:
  • Conversion from/to log area ratio (lar2par and par2lar)
  • Entropy calculation (entropy)
  • Huffman coding (huffman, huffman_encode, and huffman_decode)
  • Magic number interpolation (magic_intpl)
  • Median filter (medfilt)
  • Mel-cepstrum postfilter (mcpf)
  • Mel-filter-bank extraction (fbank)
  • Nonrecursive MLPG (mlpg -R 1)
  • Pitch extraction by DIO used in WORLD (pitch -a 3)
  • Pole-zero plot (gpolezero)
  • Scalar quantization (quantize and dequantize)
  • Spectrogram plot (gspecgram)
  • Stability check of LPC coefficients (lpccheck)
  • Subband decomposition (pqmf and ipqmf)
  • Windows build support (only static library)
• Obsoleted commands:
  • acep, agcep, and amcep -> amgcep
  • bell
  • c2sp -> mgc2sp
  • cat2 and echo2
  • da
  • ds, us, us16, and uscd -> sox
  • fig
  • gc2gc -> mgc2mgc
  • gcep, mcep, and uels -> mgcep
  • glsadf, lmadf, and mlsadf -> mglsadf
  • ivq and vq -> imsvq and msvq
  • lsp2sp -> mglsp2sp
  • mgc2mgclsp and mgclsp2mgc
  • psgr and xgr
  • raw2wav, wav2raw, wavjoin, and wavsplit -> sox
• Separated commands:
  • c2ir -> c2mpir and mpir2c
  • dtw -> dtw and dtw_merge
  • mglsadf -> mglsadf and imglsadf
  • train -> train and mseq
  • ulaw -> ulaw and iulaw
  • vstat -> vstat and median
• Renamed commands:
  • mgclsp2sp -> mglsp2sp
