DESCRIPTION¶
Wavesurfer is a tool for sound visualization and manipulation. It can be used as
a stand-alone tool for a wide range of tasks in speech research and education.
Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound
annotation/transcription.
The documentation for wavesurfer can be accessed online via
www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer or through the wavesurfer help menu.
OPTIONS¶
WaveSurfer recognizes the following command line switches
-play
start playing as soon as the sound is loaded.
-config configuration
use the configuration and do not query the user for one. WaveSurfer uses the
first matching configuration of the available. If none matches, a wavebar will
be displayed.
-master filename
when loading several sound files at once, specify which sound's wavebar will
control the rest. For example, wavesurfer.tcl -config Waveform -master ex1.wav
ex1.wav ex2.wav, will make the first sound's wavebar control the second one as
well. Same function can be had by choosing View | Master Widget | ex1.wav.
-mlf filename
search the specified HTK Master Label File (only for HTK format transcription
panes). Several options can be specified and they will apply to the
corresponding transcription pane counting from the top.
