* 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&#x20;
* After that, used Praat, another open source tool for phonetic analysis of speech.&#x20;
* It can extract pitch and intensity and what is called "voice pulses."
* Lilypond, another OSS tool for "engraving music"
