On this page you can find a number of programs and scripts that we frequently use in our lab. Many of these are are to be used with the Praat digital speech analysis software (www.praat.org).
Praat Plugins:
Praat Plugins are extensions to the Praat software. You can see them as little programs in themselves. To install a Praat plugin do the following:
- Download the plugin of your choice
- Extract the folder inside the plugin (but leave all the files in this folder)
- Move the extracted folder (starts with 'plugin_xxx') to your Praat preferences directory. If you don't know where your preferences directory is then do the following:
- Open a new script window (Praat -> New Praat Script)
- Type the following line into the script window:
echo 'preferencesDirectory$'
- Execute the script (Run -> Run; in the script window)
- A new window will open with a path. This is your preferences directory.
- Open Praat (re-open in case Praat was already open) and the plugin will be installed under the 'New' menu.
- For more instructions consult the Praat help (search for: plugin)
