.trans file creation!

.trans files are the basic transcriptions on what's in your audio file.

There's two different kinds: Articulation .trans and Stationary .trans

Articulation .trans (generated by Auto-Trans) are like this:

Sil a a i a M e a Sil

[Sil a]

[a i]

[i a]

[a M]

[M e]

[e a]

[a Sil]

Stationary .trans are (converted with Trans-Converter) are like this:

Sil a a i a M e a Sil

[a]

[i]

[a]

[M]

[e]

[a]

How to generate articulation .trans:

Open the GUI and click Run Auto_Trans (or if you want you can open the auto-trans script called Auto_trans_GUI.py by itself)

It should look like this (if you've updated I fixed the faulty checkbox)

I'll add a browse button later, so for now open your folder (with your recordings. they should be in Kana encoding like ああいあうえあ.wav)

Copy the path of the voicebank folder and paste it to the window like this

Click on the checkbox next to Write transcripts automatically if your recordings in kana, leave empty if not (romaji)

when you click on Run Auto-Trans Script, you should see this

Go back to your folder and you should see you have .trans files made!

How to convert the articulation .trans you get with Auto-Trans to Stationary .trans

Open the GUI and click on Run Trans Converter (or if you want you can run trans_convert_GUI.py by itself)

You should see this

Click browse next to Articulation .trans input directory and find your folder with the trans files in it

Click browse next to Stationary trans output directory and make a folder where you want your stationary files to be placed.

Click convert .trans files and you'll see this

Then you're done! (your trans files should not be empty it'll throw an error)

Now you can move on to .seg files!
