Thanks for the advice, I will check the labeling more thoroughly. spot checks looked pretty good but I didn't review every recording. One issue I have noticed is that the script which makes the index doesn't properly add the diphones like p_-_l timings. They just appear as 0 0 0 even though the lab file is correct. Anyone know a fix for this short of adding all the hyphenated diphone timings by hand?
