## Recommended tools

- [Nkululeko](https://github.com/felixbur/nkululeko)  
This toolkit has a [data](https://github.com/felixbur/nkululeko/tree/main/data) directory with each python-preprocessing script that can load most datasets in this list. The processing script there will split the data into train, validation, and test sets, and save them as CSV files with file paths and labels. Then, you can make make experiments to detect emotions from speech using that dataset with Nkululeko or other tools.

- [ERTK](https://github.com/Strong-AI-Lab/emotion)  
Similar to Nkululeko, ERTK (emotion recognition toolkit) also has [dataset](https://github.com/Strong-AI-Lab/emotion/tree/master/datasets) directory that can load most datasets in this list.
