Not an issue with the program but issue using FAVE or Simply getting it all going.

I'm new to FAVE, have experience using praat. I believe there areas I having trouble with is how and where Im suppose to extract or begin after I've downloaded all supporting/dependencies. Very new to coding and would appreciate some guidance to help set it all up.

• using it for research

Thank you :)

Hi @DaveFave99 and welcome! To give you more detailed help, could you provide a bit more information about where you are in the process?

• Do you have an aligned TextGrid? Before FAVE can extract acoustic measures, you need a TextGrid file with a word tier and phone tier where the intervals are time-aligned to the acoustic data. You can get this by using the Montreal Force Aligner by following this tutorial
• Did you install FAVE by using pip? This is the easiest way to install FAVE, and it will automatically add fave-extract as a command for you to use. You can install FAVE by running python3 -m pip install fave in your command-line interface. If you are using another system like a Jupyter notebook, let me know and I can help with those methods as well.

If you've done the above, you should be able to run fave-extract <audio-file> <aligned-textgrid-file> <output-file-name> where you replace <audio-file> with the name of the WAV audio, <aligned-textgrid-file> with the name of the TextGrid, and <output-file-name> with the name of the file you want the acoustic measures stored. If that doesn't work, we can do more troubleshooting.
