[Kaldi-users] Generate sript-file (scp) from archive file (ark)

[Joan P. <joa...@gm...>]

Hi,

I know that the traditional recipe is to generate the script-file at
the same time as the archive file with a write specifier like:
"ark,scp:my.ark,my.scp"

I was wondering if there is any tool to generate the my.scp file a
posteriori, something like: "generate-scp-from-ark my.ark > my.scp"

My problem is: When I generate the ark file and the scp file together,
the content of my.scp is something like this:

key1 my.ark:pos1
key2 my.ark:pos2
... etc ...

However, if I try to process the script file from a different
directory, it won't be able to find the "my.ark" file, so need to
generate the ark and scp files from the same directory I will use
them, or use absolute paths.

I was thinking of using the generate-scp-from-ark tool to generate a
location-specific scp file from the ark.

How do you avoid this problem? Do you think this kind of tool would be useful?

Thanks.
