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.
