Reads pre-formatted dyadic (2 interlocutor) conversation transcripts from your machine. Transcripts must be either csv or txt format. IF you are supplying a txt file, your transcript must be formatted as an otter.ai txt file export. Your options for using csv files are more flexible. ConversationAlign minimally requires a csv file with two columns, denoting interlocutor and text. Each separate conversation transcript should be saved as a separate file. ConversationAlign will use the file names as a document ID. Within the read dyads function, set the my_path argument as the directory path to the local folder containing your transcripts on your machine (e.g., "my_transcripts"). Please see our github page for examples of properly formatted transcripts: https://github.com/Reilly-ConceptsCognitionLab/ConversationAlign
