Hi all, I have been enjoying the chooseFolder and chooseReadFile functions, but would love to be able to specify a starting directory from which to select. Is this a possibility? Thanks! Adam Jacks UN

I recently collected about 20 voice recordings for a study and then manipulated them for F0 and formant dispersion using Praat's Change Gender function. They sound exactly how I'd expect them to, howe

Dear Paul, There is now the nice vectorized version of selected#() to get object IDs. Could you also please make the same for selected$#() to get object names? That would further reduce the need for l

Hi all, I was wondering if there is an easy way to open a large list of .wav and .textgrid files in Praat from Python. I have a list of ~100 files that I want to open into the objects window of a sing

Hi all: Can we receive some notifications at certain points on the timeline during the playback of a sound file in praat? For example, at 1.23456 second moment and 3.456789 second moment of the entire

I'm looking for an automatic aligner that will create intonational phrase boundaries on spontaneous speech, rather than word-level boundaries based strictly on a transcript. Does anyone have any recom

Hello, According to the literature (e.g., Keith Johnson's textbook on acoustic and auditory phonetics), tones of ~2-5 kHz are perceived as loudest compared to tones of other frequencies and equal inte

Hello, I used the "Create sound as pure tone command" to create tones with an amplitude of 0.2 Pa. Then, I tried verifying that the created sounds have indeed an amplitude of 0.2 Pa, but I can't find

Hi friends, looking over various tutorials and publicly available scripts, I frequently see the scripting language that appears in the Praat user manual alongside a newer, streamlined syntax. Is there

Hi there! I am a newbie in computational linguistics and I am searching for a way to make my job with PRAAT a little bit faster and easier for me. I have to tag boundaries like this one with a D in ea

Hi there, I am trying to run a low-pass filtering script (link below). I do specify the source and end directories, but nothing happens. I don't get any error messages, but no files are saved in the e

Dear all, Speaking about averaging spectra for fricatives, Shadle (2012: 515) says: "The DFTs are then averaged (the magnitude-squared amplitudes, not the dB values, are averaged at each frequency)."

laughter detection, ambient mood analysis? this is somewhat OT, not a praat specific qustion. For an installation I want to analyse and react to the ambient accoustic atmosphere and most of all detect

Hello, I would like to remove pauses from a speech >250ms using Praat. How can I do it? Thank you!

Dear all: I encountered an error message (I/O error) that looks like an issue writing to the hard drive (a picture attached), right? What should I do to prevent it from reappearing? Looking forward to

Hi friends, I suspect this is a simple misunderstanding on my part as I repeatedly see published experiments where Leq is extracted from the LTAS object. When I create one I do not see that option in

Dear Praat users, I find the "Combine to stereo" command, but not a command to create a Sound object with more than two tracks. Is it possible to do it through a formula? Thanks in advance, Paolo Brav

Hello, everyone! I'm an undergrad assistant in a neuroscience lab and am wanting to find the frequency range of an audio file being used in a sensory experiment. The downside is that it's over 6 hours

Hi All, I wish to use Praat to join to separate song files into one new song file whereby each second of sound is a combination of the two songs. That is, I don't want to overlay two separate tracks p
