emSpeech is the speech module of the e-magyar language processing system.

The speech activity detection module wraps the SHOUT.

The speaker diarization module wraps the 'shout_segment' and 'shout_cluster' programs of SHOUT, with added audio conversion using the SoX (Sound eXchange) utility. For details on the usage run

python speaker_diarization/em-dia.py --help

1. Install SHOUT. Instructions can be found here.

2. Install sox. sox should be available on most Linux distribution (e.g. apt-get install sox).
