General

pyAudioAnalysis is a Python library covering a wide range of audio analysis tasks. Through pyAudioAnalysis you can:

Installation

An audio classification example

More examples and detailed tutorials can be found at the wiki

pyAudioAnalysis provides easy-to-call wrappers to execute audio analysis tasks. Eg, this code first trains an audio segment classifier, given a set of WAV files stored in folders (each folder representing a different class) and then the trained classifier is used to classify an unknown audio WAV file

from pyAudioAnalysis import audioTrainTest as aT
aT.extract_features_and_train(["classifierData/music","classifierData/speech"], 1.0, 1.0, aT.shortTermWindow, aT.shortTermStep, "svm", "svmSMtemp", False)
aT.file_classification("data/doremi.wav", "svmSMtemp","svm")

Result: (0.0, array([ 0.90156761, 0.09843239]), ['music', 'speech'])

In addition, command-line support is provided for all functionalities. E.g. the following command extracts the spectrogram of an audio signal stored in a WAV file: python audioAnalysis.py fileSpectrogram -i data/doremi.wav
