SYNOPSIS

       wavesurfer [options] soundfile

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.
