NAME¶
praat - doing phonetics by computer
SYNOPSIS¶
praat
DESCRIPTION¶
This manual page documents briefly the
praat command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original
program does not have a manual page.
praat is a program for speech analysis and synthesis. Through its
graphical interface, several speech analysis functionalities are available:
spectrograms, cochleograms, and pitch and formant extraction. Articulatory
synthesis, as well as synthesis from pitch, formant, and intensity are also
available. Other features are segmentation, labelling using the phonetic
alphabet, and computation of statistics. Praat is configurable and extensible
through its own scripting language and has provisions for communicating with
other programs.
SEE ALSO¶
praat has an on-line documentation; just launch praat and look at the
Help menu entry.
For further information, see the Praat website (
http://www.praat.org). A very
good Beginner's Guide is available at
http://www.ling.lu.se/persons/Sidney/praate/frames.html.
