The Montreal Forced Aligner is a command line utility for performing forced alignment of speech datasets using Kaldi (http://kaldi-asr.org/).
Please see the documentation http://montreal-forced-aligner.readthedocs.io for installation and usage.
If you run into any issues, please check the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mfa-users) for fixes/workarounds or to post a [new issue](https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner/issues).
## Installation
You can install MFA either entirely through [conda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/) or a mix of conda for Kaldi and Pynini dependencies and Python packaging for MFA itself
### Conda installation
MFA is hosted on [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/) and can be installed via:
```
conda install -c conda-forge montreal-forced-aligner
```
in your environment of choice.
### Source installation
If you'd like to install a local version of MFA or want to use the development set up, the easiest way is first create the dev environment from the yaml in the repo root directory:
```
conda env create -n mfa-dev -f environment.yml
```
Alternatively, the dependencies can be installed via:
```
conda install -c conda-forge python=3.11 kaldi librosa biopython praatio tqdm requests colorama pyyaml pynini openfst baumwelch ngram
```
MFA can be installed in develop mode via:
```
pip install -e .[dev]
```
You should be able to see appropriate output from `mfa version`
#### Development
The test suite is run via `tox -e py38-win` or `tox -e py38-unix` depending on the OS, and the docs are generated via `tox -e docs`
