Running VOCD on a group of speakers

[Macarena Quiroga]

Dear all,

I'm running a VOCD over a transcription, and I would like to divide the input that the target child hears by groups of age, which means that I would like to have a measure of VOCD for the adult's talk and another measure for the children's talk.

I thought that maybe I could limit the scope of the VOCD creating a file called adults.cha where I store this information:

@ID=”*|Adult|*”
@ID=”*|Mother|*”
@ID=”*|Father|*”

And then, I run the vocd with the following comand:

vocd +...@adults.cha +r1 +r6 +fvocd_adults +d3 @

Sadly, it didn't work out. I tried removing the @ from the adults.cha file but it didn't work either. I know this is probably not how the program works, but I wanted to ask you if there's a way to do it.

Thank you!

Macarena,

The +/-t option does not take filename. To see what arguments can be used you can just type the command's name by itself and press return key. This will give a Usage information for all options used with that command.

In your case you would need command line like:

vocd +t@ID="*|Adult|*" +t@ID="*|Mother|*" +t@ID="*|Father|*" +r1 +r6 +fvocd_adults +d3 @ 

Alternatively, depending on what other speaker roles you have in the file, you could use command like:

vocd -t@ID="*|Target_Child|*" +r1 +r6 +fvocd_adults +d3 @
