Initially please make sure the course_data_dir and course_data_url variables are set:

course_data_dir = "./myEMURdata" # change to valid dir path on your system
course_data_url = "http://www.phonetik.uni-muenchen.de/~jmh/lehre/Rdf"

Tasks

Convert the audio-text-collection in course_data_dir/nze into an EMU-SDMS speech database called ‘nzetest’ and segment it automatically with the BASwebservices. NB: because of certain restrictions of MINNI, you will not be able to use the speech models for New Zealand English (‘eng_NZ’). Please use the Australian English speech models instead (‘eng-AU’)!
