Aeneas and Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA)

[marcello-pietrobon]

Hi, few years ago I was successfully running Aeneas for a forced alignment or Montreal Forced Aligner (MFA) (which actually is better).

Now, every time I have to manually fix a transcription, it often happens that I'd like to just type the entire text of a long segment to be fixed (without having to worry about align it), and then align it with MFA in one shot, and then of course update the entire transcription with that change.

I wonder if it has ever been thought of implementing that. If is it worth it in your opinion (I think it would save tons of time, maybe or easily 50%) because MFA works very well. I remember that few years ago I was able to have MFA working on Windows 7 without installing Conda (I find Conda too heavy for tasks of this kind).

Best regards.
