Praat_Scripts

中文版

This project includes some commonly used scripts of Praat, combined with simple examples to explain how to use these scripts, each independent directory contains sample files and result files, which are suitable for those who have some understanding of the basic operations of Praat, beginners who have a good understanding of basic acoustic parameters such as Duration, fundamental frequency and formant.

The project includes the following:

1. Basic operation of Praat;
2. Operation of Praat on files, including annotation file TextGrid and audio file wav;
3. Praat operations on specific label information, such as tier, interval, including replacement, addition, delete, etc.;
4. Use Praat to extract the main acoustic parameters, duration, fundamental frequency, formant;
5. How to use these parameters to make a simple tone and intonation map;

I hope to be helpful to the experimental phonetics beginners who get started with Praat, and more practical Praat scripts are being updated continuously.
