===================================
 Run speaker recognition algorithms
===================================

This package is part of the signal-processing and machine learning toolbox
Bob_.
This package is part of the ``bob.bio`` packages, which allow to run comparable and reproducible biometric recognition experiments on publicly available databases.

This package contains functionality to run speaker recognition experiments.
It is an extension to the `bob.bio.base <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/bob.bio.base>`_ package, which provides the basic scripts.
In this package, utilities that are specific for speaker recognition are contained, such as:

* Audio databases
* Voice activity detection preprocessing
* Acoustic feature extractors
* Recognition algorithms based on acoustic features

For further information about ``bob.bio``, please read `its Documentation <https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/bob.bio.base/v4.0.2/index.html>`_.


Installation
------------

Complete Bob's `installation`_ instructions. Then, to install this package,
