is Forced Alignment available on prebuilt Docker images?
Hi! If you want use NeMo, you can either use the PyTorch container and install NeMo on it, or use a NeMo speech container. There are instructions for both in the README, e.g. [here](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#docker-containers). AFAIK, neither type of container contains any of the [tools from this directory](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/main/tools). However, all of those tools are essentially relatively lightweight Python scripts that use NeMo (and maybe some other dependencies that are mentioned in their requirements files).

So if I were you, I would set up one of the Docker containers and make sure NeMo is installed, then git clone the NeMo repository so that you have access to the NFA scripts here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NeMo/tree/main/tools/nemo_forced_aligner.

Then you should be able to use NFA inside the container by calling the `<path to your NeMo location>/tools/nemo_forced_aligner/align.py` script.

Hello!

I'm working with the Forced aligner and so far everything has been positive! 

Now I wanted to use the prebuilt docker images provided by Nvidia, but when exploring the images I don't see any reference to the Forced Aligner script I used on the Google Colab example you provide.

Is this expected? Do I have to use the pytorch:23.10-py3 Docker image and install NeMo from GitHub?

Thanks in advance.
