Gentle is a robust yet lenient forced aligner built on Kaldi that aligns audio speech with a known text transcript. It can be used as a Mac GUI app, a Dockerized web server with a REST API, or a Python command-line tool.
Use cases
- align a transcript with an audio recording word by word
- get word-level timestamps for podcast or video audio
- serve forced alignment over a REST API
- transcribe audio and view alignment results in a browser
- batch-align audio files from the command line
When to choose
- you need word-level alignment of speech to a known transcript
- you want a self-hosted aligner with a simple REST API
- you prefer a Kaldi-based aligner that tolerates transcript mismatches
When to avoid
- you need full speech-to-text without a reference transcript
- you need Windows-native support without Docker
- you need actively developed cutting-edge ASR features
