Graveyard

Here we collect software / approaches that we have tested but found non-working for our usecase. This collection might save time in the future because not all of us fall for all the same things (again).

• montreal-forced-aligner

  • seems to not really be done for our usecase
  • needs wiered input & output formats
  • very difficult to setup & package
  • seems to need a postgress(?!)

• Celery

  • Kind of cool software but not really suited for our usecase because there is no obvious, easy way to have workers that are only trusted for parts of the jobs.
  • Kind of hard to setup because needs either a RabbitMQ or a Redis.

• RabbitMQ

  • A bit hard to setup for local deployments. (see this half-working nix-shell; the load_definitions seems to not work)

• whispercpp.py

  • was hard to get compiling under nix/mac/pdm; compiling alone was easy.
  • switched to other bindings
