CNVILS

NAME

cnvils - convert data between SFS and ILS formats

SYNOPSIS

cnvils [ (-i item) (-l) ] [ (-o item) (-h history) ] ilsfile dbfile

DESCRIPTION

cnvils copies data from existing SFS files into new ILS files or updates existing SFS files with data from whole ILS files. Default operation copies speech item into ILS sampled data file.

Options and their meanings are:

-I Identify program and exit.

SFS to ILS conversions:

-i sp Copy speech item from SFS file into new ILS sampled data file.

-i lx Copy excitation item from SFS file into new ILS sampled data file.

-i fx Overlay Fx item from SFS file onto existing ILS analysis file.

-l Generate label file from TX data when copying waveforms from SFS to ILS formats.

-i item Select input item type and subtype. This switch also actuates appropriate conversion from SFS.

ILS to SFS conversions:

-o sp Copy sampled data into SP item.

-o lx Copy sampled data into LX item.

-o fx Copy fundamental frequency contour into FX item.

-o fx Copy fundamental frequency from ILS analysis file to an FX item.

-o sy Copy processed formant estimates from ILS analysis file to an SY item.

-o fm Copy raw formant estimates from ILS analysis file to an FM item.

-h history Use the string "history" in the history field of the created item. This should include the name of the process that ils has performed and the item number of the items in the file acting as input. For example, re-synthesized lpc speech may use: -h "sns(1.01)".

INPUT ITEMS

1.xx Any speech item.

2.xx Any excitation item.

3.xx Any period data item (for labels file).

4.xx Any Fx item.

OUTPUT ITEMS

1 ILS processed speech

2 ILS processed lx

4 ILS processed fundamental frequency.

7 ILS processed synthesizer control parameters

12 ILS processed raw formant estimates
