Hi all,

I did a kwal search to find the target utterances, and would like to extract audio for those utterances. If this can be done in CLANc, could anyone let me know the procedures?

I remember that when I was doing the same thing years ago, the results that showed up for the kwal command contained a bullet for each utterance and I was able to send the sound to Praat, but now I'm only seeing time stamps. Has something changed in more recent versions? I might end up using some other ways to extract the audio with the timestamps, but just wanted to check here.

Thank you!

Hi,

Things have changed a bit. You will need to add options "+d +o@Media +f" to KWAL command to insert @Media tier into output file to make sending to PRAAT function to work correctly.

Hi Leonid,

Thank you very much for your quick response! Adding the options you suggested worked well. However, when I'm extracting the target utterances from multiple .cha files, it seems that separate output files are generated for each .cha input file. I tried adding the option +u to put all the utterances (from multiple input files) into one output file. In this case, it seems that I can still link only one media file to that output file, such that I have to link File_A.wav to extract sounds for the utterances from File_A.cha, and link File_B.wav to do the same for File_B.cha?

Thank you again!

Hi Jinyoung,

I have added feature to CLANc to parse old style bullets which have media filename within them. The only limitation is no continuous playback or F5 function. Now you can run KWAL command without the need of "+d +o@Media" options.
