Dear community,

I have a weird problem:

My perfectly written script (thanks to Daniel Hirst) works perfectly well on my computer, it does not so on my friend's.

I had a Praat Version from September 22, hers is from February 23 - so I updated mine and it still works.
She saved it unter ".praat" and it is exactly the same as mine (thought maybe it was due to a default font but no)
She has windows, I have a Mac - does that make a difference?

Any idea, where this might be coming from?

Thanks
Loremi


The Script

# Praat script: Get pause durations

# version: 2022-09-10

# - get mean duration of pauses 

# - not counting initial or final pause

# author: Daniel Hirst <djhirst@...>

 

tier = 1

pause_label$ = "silent"

nIntervals = Get number of intervals: 1

nPauses= 0

sumPauses = 0

clearinfo

appendInfoLine: "pause", tab$, "duration"

 

for iInterval from 2 to nIntervals-1

label$ = Get label of interval: tier, iInterval

if label$ = pause_label$

nPauses += 1

start = Get start time of interval:  tier, iInterval

end = Get end time of interval:  tier, iInterval

duration = end - start

sumPauses += duration 

appendInfoLine: nPauses, tab$, fixed$(duration, 3)

endif

endfor

 

meanPause = sumPauses/nPauses

appendInfoLine: "number of pauses: ", nPauses, "; mean duration: ", fixed$(meanPause, 3)
