DSAlign phrase snap not aligning with newlines

Hello all. I have a transcript of lines for TV shows and would like to get the timestamp for each line which in my input is separated by newlines. I am running the command:

$ bin/align.sh --audio audio.wav --script transcript.txt --aligned aligned.json --tlog transcript.log --text-meaningful-newlines --align-phrase-snap-factor 3

I’ve tried many values for the snap factor up to 10 but no matter what my output seems to not take each line phrase into account. Could anyone give me any advice on how to accomplish this? Alternatively does anyone know how I could get the timestamp of each word?

Thank you!

Have you tried a different audio file and played around with it to see whether everything is working fine? Try the bin/gettestdata and post some more info.

As for the timestamps, DeepSpeech generates them in the metadata and you can always use Google, MS, AWS …
