Praat Scripts for prosodic analysis
- Prepares a SPPAS file for proeminency annotation by duplicating the tier Syllables into a tier PROM with empty segments
- Merges the files annotated for proeminency by different annotators and presents a table of convergence/divergence between them
- Summerizes how many syllables (tier Syllables) per words (tier TokensAlign) in a selected textGrid
- Saves each interval of the selected IntervalTier of a TextGrid to a separate WAV sound file and a separate textGrid
Tools for the corpus
- Search a word in the TRANS or the FINAL corpus and create a unique WAV file with the concatenation of the sentences containing the word. Create a textGrid file with the concatenation of the sentences containing the word
- Control the format of WAV files from a selected folder in the corpus (versus standard 44100hz/16bits/Mono)
