Usage Examples

Basic Audio Analysis

use subx_cli::services::audio::{AudioAnalyzer, AusAdapter};
use subx_cli::Result;

async fn analyze_audio_file() -> Result<()> {
    // Initialize audio processing components
    let analyzer = AudioAnalyzer::new();
    let adapter = AusAdapter::new();
     
    // Load audio from video file
    let audio_data = adapter.load_audio("movie.mp4").await?;
     
    // Extract comprehensive audio features
    let features = analyzer.extract_features(&audio_data)?;
    println!("Extracted {} audio feature frames", features.frames.len());
     
    // Detect dialogue segments
    let dialogue_segments = analyzer.detect_dialogue(&audio_data, 0.3)?;
    println!("Found {} dialogue segments", dialogue_segments.len());
     
    // Analyze speech characteristics
    for segment in dialogue_segments {
        println!("Dialogue: {:.2}s - {:.2}s (intensity: {:.2})",
            segment.start_time, segment.end_time, segment.intensity);
    }
     
    Ok(())
}

Advanced Synchronization Workflow

use subx_cli::services::audio::{AudioAnalyzer, DialogueSegment, AudioEnvelope};

async fn synchronize_subtitles() -> Result<()> {
    let analyzer = AudioAnalyzer::new();
     
    // Load and process audio
    let audio_data = load_audio_from_video("episode.mkv").await?;
    let envelope = analyzer.generate_envelope(&audio_data)?;
     
    // Detect dialogue segments with high precision
    let dialogue_segments = analyzer.detect_dialogue_advanced(
        &envelope,
        0.25,  // threshold
        1.0,   // min_duration
        0.5    // gap_threshold
    )?;
     
    // Load subtitle timing
    let subtitle_entries = load_subtitle_entries("episode.srt")?;
     
    // Perform correlation analysis
    let correlation_result = analyzer.correlate_dialogue_with_subtitles(
        &dialogue_segments,
        &subtitle_entries
    )?;
     
    println!("Synchronization confidence: {:.2}%",
        correlation_result.confidence * 100.0);
     
    Ok(())
}
