man praat (Commandes) - doing phonetics by computer
NAME
praat - doing phonetics by computer
SYNOPSIS
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 (www.praat.org). A very good Beginner's Guide is available at http://www.ling.lu.se/persons/Sidney/praate/frames.html
