iman
Advanced tools
iman is a comprehensive Python package offering a wide array of utilities for audio processing, file manipulation, machine learning, system operations, web utilities, and more. It provides tools for tasks such as audio feature extraction, voice activity detection, file I/O, system monitoring, and integration with frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow. The package is organized into multiple submodules, each designed for specific functionalities, as detailed below.
Install iman via pip:
.. code-block:: bash
pip install iman
Ensure dependencies like numpy, torch, tensorflow, speechbrain, librosa, matplotlib, pandas, and external tools like ffmpeg, ffprobe, and WinRAR are installed. Some functions require pre-trained models or specific paths (e.g., model files, ffmpeg_path).
Below are examples of key functionalities from the iman package. For detailed function signatures and parameters, refer to the sections below or use the built-in help system:
Example: Audio Processing
.. code-block:: python
from iman import Audio
# Read a WAV file
data, sr = Audio.Read("audio.wav", sr=16000, start_from=0, dur=None, mono=True, ffmpeg_path="c:\\ffmpeg.exe", ffprobe_path="c:\\ffprobe.exe")
# Resample and write audio
resampled = Audio.Resample(data, fs=sr, sr=8000)
Audio.Write("output.wav", resampled, fs=8000)
Example: File Operations
.. code-block:: python
from iman import *
# Get files matching a pattern
files = gf("*.txt")
# Write a dictionary to a file
my_dict = {"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"}
Write_Dic(my_dict, "output.txt")
Example: VAD with Segmenter
.. code-block:: python
