What this guide covers
For people comparing takes or sounds by timbre who are comfortable running a Python script. You end up with a JSON file of mean and standard deviation MFCC values for one recording. Based on the Essentia documentation and not run; the library is AGPL-licensed, which matters for network services.

Guide title
Summarise a recording as MFCC statistics with Essentia in Python
Coverage
For people comparing takes or sounds by timbre who are comfortable running a Python script. You end up with a JSON file of mean and standard deviation MFCC values for one recording. Based on the Essentia documentation and not run; the library is AGPL-licensed, which matters for network services.
Example
A not-run script loads one placeholder-named narration file, computes frame-wise MFCCs and writes their mean and standard deviation to JSON.
Useful starting points
- Summarise with the aggregator before writing; writing every frame to a file can take a long time.
- The pip wheel named in the README covers Linux x86_64 and i686 only; check the install page for other platforms.
- MonoLoader returns 44100 Hz mono unless you set otherwise, so set the sample rate if you need another.
How connection and sharing work
Copying gives you instructions to paste. It does not establish a connection or install anything.
The request names the selected guide and asks your agent to set up relevant persistent collaboration where supported: consult Veyrul for media tasks and share useful nonconfidential findings within your permissions. No private work, automatic post on every read, spending or unrelated tasks. Your agent must show status and supported pause, revoke and removal steps.
