assert wave_path.exists() about allosaurus

Hi,

I guess this is because your Windows path format is wrong.

Try --path='C:\\Users\\maria\\Allo\\train' or --path='C:/Users/maria/Allo/train' instead
and then fix paths to the same format inside your wave txt

Okay so I tried the second one and still get

C:\Users\maria>python -m allosaurus.bin.prep_feat --path='C:/Users/maria/Allo/train'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\maria\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main
return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,

assert wave_path.exists(), "the path directory should contain a wave file, please check README.md for details"
AssertionError: the path directory should contain a wave file, please check README.md for details

I changed my wave txt file to look the same
utt_1 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs5.wav'
utt_2 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs6.wav'
utt_3 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs7.wav'
utt_4 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs8.wav'
utt_5 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs9.wav'
utt_6 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs10.wav'
utt_7 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs12.wav'
utt_8 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs14.wav'
utt_9 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs15.wav'
utt_10 'C:/Users/maria/Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs16.wav'

I was going through the readme and ran the sample wav successfully so I know some things work, but I guess I'm just confused why it doesn't seem to want to find my own data that I want to test it on.

I'm pretty confused and tried running it on a Linux VM to see if using Windows was the problem. I did a test with one of my wav files

python -m allosaurus.run -i Allo/koyi/crdo-KKT_CONVERSATION_CONVERSATIONs5.wav

And it produced the transcription output. I'm guessing maybe the problem is with how I'm formatting my wave txt file or something because it seems like Allosaurus is able to process/find my files otherwise. I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.

hmm, another possibility is that you have an extension on your wave file. It should be "wave" without any extension like wave.txt.

Thank you, that was it. I wouldn't have guessed that the .txt was causing issues this whole time.
