CH_UTT(1)

💖 CH_UTT 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ch_utt — a lil General Commands Manual darling from the Edinburgh Speech Tools crew ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ch_utt — change/copy utterance file 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ch_utt [-h] [-f feature] [-o output file] [-otype -file -type]
       [-sysdir -directory] input file

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe: ch_utt takes an input utterance file and copies it to an output file, and like… while it's doing that it can optionally change its format or do other operations along the way. no cap, it's giving "glow up on the way out the door" 🌈

The following option flags are recognized:

• -h — print a short summary of options to standard output. bestie this is your cheat sheet, go look at it 👀
• -f feature — the feature to use as item ID when merging utterances. that's the one holding the whole merge together fr fr 🫶
• -o output file — the output file name. literally just tell it where to put the goods 🎀
• -otype -file -type — the output file type. for the full list of supported file formats, go see the output of the -h option. iykyk, -h is the plug ✨
• -sysdir -directory — look for unqualified system entities in this directory. it's the "where's my stuff" directory, lowkey essential 🧚

and obviously don't forget the input file — that's the main character of this whole operation 👑

ngl, that -otype flag wants its arguments in a very specific shape (-file -type), so don't freestyle it. type it exactly like it's written, bestie 💀
