       praat - doing phonetics by compute

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.   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.

SEE ALSO

       praat has an on-line documentation; just launch praat and look at the Help menu entry.
