Topic-180: Introduction to PRAAT
Nowadays most of the research works in phonetics and phonology are based on software like
Praat and WaveSurfer. So it is appropriate to include some beginners level introductory sessions to one of the mostly used software Praat. Praat is a freeware created by Paul Boersma and David Weenink at the Institute of Phonetics Sciences of the University of Amsterdam (Homepage http://www.praat.org or http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/
). It is freely downloadable with improvised version and its guides and discussions are also available. One of the active platforms available for Praat related discussion and blogs is the yahoopraatgroup. There is an introductory tutorial also available at the homepage of Praat. In short,
Praat is a computer program with which you can analyze, synthesize, and manipulate speech, and create high-quality pictures for your articles and thesis. You are advised to start going through the tutorial from its homepage.
