{talkr} is an R package that offers a set of convenience functions for quality control, visualisation and analysis of conversational data. Most notably it provides a range of plotting functions that play well with ggplot and the tidyverse.
talkr offers a set of convenience functions for quality control, visualisation and analysis of conversational data.
It provides support for at least two common needs of people working with conversational corpora:
(1) quality control by offering rapid insights into the nature, timing, and quality of time-aligned annotations in a conversational corpus; and
(2) compelling visualisations by offering a range of plotting functions that play well with ggplot and the tidyverse.
Note: talkr plays well with its companion python package scikit-talk, which is focused more on processing conversational data and readying it for downstream analysis.
You can install the development version of talkr from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("elpaco-escience/talkr", build_vignettes = TRUE)
talkr has been submitted to CRAN, and will soon be installable with:
install.packages("talkr")
Two workflows for talkr are described in the workflows vignette.
You can also access the vignette from RStudio, by running:
vignette("workflows", package = "talkr")

Diversity-aware language technology for conversational data
Scikit-talk is an open-source toolkit for processing collections of real-world conversational speech in Python. The toolkit aims to facilitate the exploration of large collections of transcriptions and annotations of conversational interaction.
