🌸 MKSS(1) — the noise-spectrum bestie 🌸

okay so real talk, this is mkss, manual section 1, and she is that girl for getting your mic noise sorted before you do spectral subtraction. no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

mkss — calculate average spectrum for spectral subtraction 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mkss [options...] {filename}

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so mkss is literally the tool that estimates your noise spectrum for spectral subtraction on Julius. here's the vibe: it reads a few seconds of sound data from your microphone input, calculates the average spectrum, and saves it into a file. that output file then gets used as noise spectrum data in Julius — via the -ssload option, iykyk 🫶

heads up bestie: the recording starts immediately after startup. like, no countdown, no "3… 2… 1…", nothing. it's giving main character energy and it does not wait for you 😭

the sampling format is 16bit and monoral. and if the output file already exists? yeah it gets overridden. gone. replaced. periodt 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -freq Hz — sampling frequency, in Hz (default: 16,000) 🎵
  • -len msec — capture length, in milliseconds (default: 3000) ⏱️
  • -fsize sample_num — frame size, in number of samples (default: 400) 🧚
  • -fshift sample_num — frame shift, in number of samples (default: 160) 🌈
