- When you need precise alignment of text with spoken words in audio files, as Aeneas excels at forced alignment tasks
When NOT to use aeneas
- Avoid if your system cannot meet the minimum requirements for Python versions below 3.5 or lacks essential dependencies such as FFmpeg or eSpeak
- Do not use when a more lightweight solution suffices, as Aeneas includes comprehensive but resource-intensive C/C++ extensions
