Basic functions for dealing with wav files and sound samples.

Provides an all-in-one solution for automatic classification of 
    sound events using convolutional neural networks (CNN). The main purpose 
    is to provide a sound classification workflow, from annotating sound events
    in recordings to training and automating model usage in real-life
    situations. Using the package requires a pre-compiled collection of 
    recordings with sound events of interest and it can be employed for: 
    1) Annotation: create a database of annotated recordings, 
    2) Training: prepare train data from annotated recordings and fit CNN models, 
    3) Classification: automate the use of the fitted model for classifying 
    new recordings. By using automatic feature selection and a user-friendly GUI
    for managing data and training/deploying models, this package is intended 
    to be used by a broad audience as it does not require specific expertise in 
    statistics, programming or sound analysis. Please refer to the vignette for
    further information.

Functions to calculate indices for soundscape ecology and other ecology research that uses audio recordings.

The SoundexBR package provides an algorithm for decoding names
    into phonetic codes, as pronounced in Portuguese. The goal is for
    homophones to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be
    matched despite minor differences in spelling. The algorithm mainly encodes
    consonants; a vowel will not be encoded unless it is the first letter. The
    soundex code resultant consists of a four digits long string composed by
    one letter followed by three numerical digits: the letter is the first
    letter of the name, and the digits encode the remaining consonants.
