Hi, I am trying to create .lab for the transcripts for force alignment using Kaldi and MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner.git

Please guide how can I create them?

.lab is not a suffix used in Kaldi. I assume it is a terminology from some other toolkit, you should ask the maintainers of that toolkit.

.lab files are just text files with the transcript of the associated wav file.

You can manually write the transcript for each utterance or do so programmically. Just make sure that each word in the transcript is within the dictionary and no punctuations.

For example for audiosample1.wav you can create audiosample1.lab with just one line:
