Automated audio segmentation using forced alignment

[kmaclean]

Need a script to automatically segment audio from LibriVox.

Current challenges:

• dealing with out-of-vocabulary words
• automatically adjusting the pause interval for optimal audio segmentation

both of these are done manually, would like them to be automated.
