#praat — Public Fediverse posts

I've been working a spectrogram and formant tracker that runs in the browser, as well as a voice practice tool that focuses on listening to your own voice. If you're working on your voice, have thousands of voice memos, many open Audacity windows, and a half dozen voice apps that mostly just make you feel bad, you might actually just be previous me. Give these a try and let me know if they work for you!

P*rseensuti tätä elämää… yksi #GitHub'in #Python-projektini on jatkanut elämäänsä sen jälkeen, kun itse olen töitten takia siirtynyt eteenpäin. Vuonna 2023 eli toissa vuonna on saapunut NELJÄ #PullRequest'iä, joita en ole edes huomannut saati niille mitään tehnyt. Nyt olen jo kloonannut repon #Codeberg'iin ja suunnitellut vanhentavani GitHubin, mutta eihän sitä voi tehdäkään ennen kuin saapunut koodi on käsitelty. Plääh. #atkjuttuja #tiedejuttuja #Praat #fonetiikka

Hi fedi ! You want to draw pretty figures with Praat ?

I've got just the thing for you. I've been working on a semi-automatic script to draw figures on Praat. With my script you can draw spectrograms, textgrids, pitch and/or formants (see the result below, formants not shown). It was not intended for public use but still, here it is though : https://alex-under.fr/ressources/

A Danish introduction guide to #Praat is on Lingoblog today! :Praat:

on #Praat on windows today and I keep trying (and failing) to horizontal scroll #GiveUsHorizontalScrollAlready

it's been a while since I had to make a #Praat picture and I almost forgot how much of a chore I find it (to the extent I wrote a plugin in my old laptop to do it for me...)

Phoneticians of Mastodon, help me with Praat. I seem to recall once upon a time there was an easy short-cut to make an interval appear across multiple tiers. What is it?

'Enter' just creates a boundary on the active tier. How do I make an interval boundary appear across all tiers without endlessly trying to click that damn circle?

I’ve published a new python package to make navigating and working with force aligned TextGrids easier! #python #praat #phonetics

The process works! Now to do the whole batch and see what the group result is.

Back in the 2000's, as an undergrad I did manual identification and labeling of acoustic markers of speech in #Praat. 10 to 20 hours a week for 2 years measuring German and English consonants. It is incredible what is possible now using computers.

VoiceLab v1.3.1 has been released.

Check out the changes and get your copy here: https://github.com/Voice-Lab/VoiceLab

VoiceLab is free, open source software that provides reproducible, automated voice analysis, visualizations, and manipulations.

I'm preparing another release of VoiceLab. Just need to compile on Windows.

Anyways the new release modifies Cepstral Peak Prominence to measure only voiced frames (with an option to turn this off for whatever reason), fixes for energy where it wouldn't work on compiled versions, and API updates for command line interface users.

Wait wait. Turns out I get the "bad" file-save-menu when viewing a sound -> File -> Save selected sound as WAV, but when opening or saving from the Objects window, I get the "good" file-save-menu. #Praat just has both! ARGH

I've begun a complete rewrite of the VoiceLab backend. It's enough hacking. Time to start from scratch. I won't change the measurements or anything... Just the GUI and the data pipeline to accommodate multiprocessing, and in doing so, I'll tidy up the codebase.

While I'm developing (will likely take many months), have a look at my latest release:

@stefanowitsch @linguistics I once just *had to* use #Praat to draw some pictures, but as Praat #scripting is horrible I ended up writing a #Python script to generate a Praat script that finally created those pictures. #justanidea

in that vein, there are a lot of pretty extensive #tutorials on #Praat #scripting, including these two websites:

* https://praatscripting.lingphon.net
* http://praatscriptingtutorial.com/

there are also a number of slide-decks out there if you google "Praat scripting tutorial" — those might be better for some situations than these more comprehensive tutorials.

if you can't find the answer there, there's a very active Praat message board:
https://groups.io/g/Praat-Users-List

let's start with the #scripting resources that can be found on Praat's own website

* a scripting tutorial: https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/Scripting.html
* a list of functions: https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/Functions.html

you'll notice that list doesn't have any of the menu-item commands… for how to call those functions, check out this page http://praatscriptingtutorial.com/findingCommands

(this relates to a general point that gets brought up by #Praat scripters: Praat's own documentation could be much better)

LaBB-CAT users on Mac OS: thanks for your patience, there's now a fix for the #Praat browser integration issue.
You need to ensure you've got at least version 6.2.05 of Praat, and then download/run this installer:
https://github.com/nzilbb/jsendpraat/releases/download/v1.0/install-jsendpraat.jar

I'm really liking #Praat 's new --send option right now: Send a script to Praat without mucking around with `sendpraat`, and it will use an existing Praat open if any, and if not, will just run the script itself.

LaBB-CAT's cross-platform browser integration with Praat is about to get *a lot* simpler and more robust.

Živjo! Hallo! #Introductions I'm PhD student at University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Researching the articulation of standard Slovenian consonants. Practicing acoustics phonetics. Teaching several linguistics tutorials in Slovenian language (Phonetics, Phonology, Morphology etc.). Technology enthusiast, learning #LaTeX and #R, and #Praat scripting language. In my free time I play strategy and RPG games, read Old High German texts etc. 🇸🇮 🇩🇪

Trying to get #Praat to paint a nice picture of a TextGrid instead of a naff one. Any tips?

In particular, I want colour-coded tiers, tier name labels, and better handling of labels that don't fit in the bounds of the interval.
