13.8.2 Use

HLED is invoked by typing the command line

   HLEd [options] edCmdFile labFiles ..

This causes HLED to be applied to each labFile in turn using the edit commands listed in edCmdFile. The labFiles may be master label files. The available options are

-b
Suppress label boundary times in output files.

-d s
Read a dictionary from file s and use this for expanding labels when the EX command is used.

-i mlf
This specifies that the output transcriptions are written to the master label file mlf.

-g t
Set the minimum gap detected by the FG to be t (default 50000.0 = 5msecs). All gaps of shorter duration than t are ignored and not labelled.

-l s
Directory to store output label files (default is current directory). When output is directed to an MLF, this option can be used to add a path to each output file name. In particular, setting the option -l '*' will cause a label file named xxx to be prefixed by the pattern "*/xxx" in the output MLF file. This is useful for generating MLFs which are independent of the location of the corresponding data files.

-m
Strip all labels to monophones on loading.

-n fn
This option causes a list of all new label names created to be output to the file fn.

-G fmt
Set the label file format to fmt.
-I mlf
This loads the master label file mlf. This option may be repeated to load several MLFs.
-P fmt
Set the target label format to fmt.
-X ext
Set label file extension to ext (default is lab).

HLED also supports the standard options -A, -C, -D, -S, -T, and -V as described in section 4.4.
