# NATuG

### A program designed to streamline the nucleic acid nanotube design process.

Creating nanoscale tubular structures is an inherently tricky task, made possible by taking advantage of DNA’s unique structure. The strategic placement of Watson-Crick DNA base pairings in synthetic DNA allows for the creation of extremely precise nanotubes, with applications ranging from improved drug delivery to tissue wound repair. The design process requires both close attention to DNA’s complex geometry, precise alignment of strands, and careful base selection computations. NATuG, is a Python-based desktop application that aims to make the nucleic-acid design process simpler, easier, and even fun. NATuG provides an intuitive interface, allowing one to customize and visualize the nanotube shape, weave together helices in a matter of clicks, and apply/export sequences.

A user manual for the program is located [here](https://github.com/NATuG3/manual).

## Quickstart Instructions

It is advised that you [create a virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) for installing library requirements (step 4). Then, install all the requirements in the `requirements.txt` file, and boot the program by running `launcher.py`. Setting `DEBUG` to `True` in the launcher script will delete previous save states, but is will also provide enhanced logging.

voice-puppet 0.2.1
Experimentation with voice cloning for performance.
Requires Python: >=3.8

# voice-puppet

Command line tool to clone voice with TTS. Can be used for individual lines or fed a script file.

## Basic usage:

```bash
voice_puppet --clone AUDIOFILETOCLONE.wav --text "Text to say." --output "cloned.wav"
```

## Usage with a script file

You can also provide a script file and a folder with voices to clone.

```bash
voice_puppet --script SCRIPTFILE.txt --voices FOLDERWITHVOICES --output OUTPUTDIRECTORY
```

The script file should follow this format:

```
## Scene 1

### Karl
A spectre is haunting this script.

### Fred
The spectre of voice cloning.


## Scene 2

### Karl: excited
So many spectres!

```

A folder will be created for each scene, and indidual wav files for each line of dialog.

Scene names are preceded by 2 hashes `##`.

Lines of dialog are preceded by 3 hashes `###`, followed by a voice file to use as the source of the clone, and optionally followed by a colon and a mood.

You must provide a folder with wav files for each voice that matches the names you put in the script. So if you write "Karl" in the script, there should be a file called `Karl.wav` in a `voices` directory (or another directory name that you can specify).

If you optionally provide a mood with a character name, you should provide another voice file, in the format `Character_mood.wav`.
