From Spoken Word To Sheet Music

Notes

• NYPL Transcript Editor

• http://transcribe.oralhistory.nypl.org/

• Open sourced here: https://github.com/NYPL/transcript-editor

• "Spoken word into sheet music" Example: https://github.com/beefoo/still-i-rise

• Used Kaldi to get data down to the phoneme level of a word

• After that, used Praat, another open source tool for phonetic analysis of speech.

• It can extract pitch and intensity and what is called "voice pulses."

• Lilypond, another OSS tool for "engraving music"
