Magpie Pro Feature Tour: 11. Scripting

Magpie Pro includes a powerful scripting language that can be used to customize the program in several ways, some of them listed below:

  • Write custom export functions
  • Export functions are nothing more than scripts written in a scripting language that has a programming API that provides access to the project data. Users can write their own export scripts, and also modify the ones that are included.

  • Write custom speech recognizers
  • External speech recognition engines can be easily integrated into Magpie Pro by writing a wrapper script that acts as a communication agent between the software and the custom recognition process. Also, the two provided recognizers can be modified to suit specific needs.

  • Batch processing
  • Magpie Pro can be executed in command line mode to perform tasks in batch mode without user interaction. A batch script could, for example, open all the audio files in a directory one at a time and perform several operations, like running a speech recognizer, then exporting the data in some format and finally saving the project.
