montreal_forced_aligner.helper.align_phones(ref, test, silence_phone, ignored_phones=None, custom_mapping=None, debug=False)

Align phones based on how much they overlap and their phone label, with the ability to specify a custom mapping for different phone labels to be scored as if they’re the same phone

Parameters:

• ref (list[CtmInterval]) – List of CTM intervals as reference

• test (list[CtmInterval]) – List of CTM intervals to compare to reference

• silence_phone (str) – Silence phone (these are ignored in the final calculation)

• custom_mapping (dict[str, str], optional) – Mapping of phones to treat as matches even if they have different symbols

Returns:

• float – Score based on the average amount of overlap in phone intervals

• float – Phone error rate
