PCquirer
PCquirer / MacquirerThe lab PCquirer/PCQuirerX software package from Scicon Research & Development, developed by Henry Tehrani; only the PC version is actively supported here, but the CLICC lab has PC and Mac versions. Some capabilities of this software include the following. While there is no documentation available with the programs, Ling. 104 TAs provide class handouts each year.
Narrow band spectrograms
Wide band spectrograms
Pitch track with ToBI labeling
Pitch track with text labeling
FFT/LPC with formant / bandwidth values

PlotFormants for either Mac or PC is available for download here (PC version) (Mac version). Please note that the Mac version will not work on some newer Macs/some newer versions of OSX, and we do not plan to update it. Download it, try it, if it works for you, great; if not, try one of these other links, or look for scripts to do it in Praat:
Roger Billerey-Mosier's JPlotFormants is free and available from his webpage
Labov's lab's Plotnik, which allows linking sound files to tokens, is free and available at http://www.ling.upenn.edu/~wlabov/Plotnik.html
CSL / MultiSpeech (Kay Elemetrics Corp.)
Note: Kay Elemetrics renames its webpages from time to time, and as they use frames it's tedious to keep the links updated here. If the links here don't work, go to their main page, and click through from their Products link.
The Lab has owned 4 Computerized Speech Lab (CSL), two Model 4300s and two Model 4300Bs. However, only one of them is currently set up and ready to use: on Jasmine in the Physiology Lab, for use with the Palatometer. These are old models, not Kay's latest, but there are at least 4 reasons to still use CSL: the external A/D hardware for best signal quality; the ability to write macros, which makes repetitive analysis easier; the choice of LPC methods (covariance, including pitch-synchronous, as well as autocorrelation); the filter library.
The Lab also has Windows-based Multi-Speech (Model 3700) for PCs, but it may not work under any OS currently installed.
In practice, currently no one uses CSL for capturing audio signals in order to get the best S/N ratio. Instead, people use the computers with better sound cards (e.g. in the Audio Lab) or the external AudioBox.

DSP Sona-graph 5500 (Kay Elemetrics Corp.)
The DSP Sona-Graph is a dedicated (i.e., not computer-based), real-time, audio spectrum analysis instrument which was designed "from the ground up" for high speed signal analysis and display.
1. Introduction
The Kay 5500 Sonagraph is located in the General (largest) computer room of the phonetics lab, where it serves as a museum piece. However, it still functions.
2. Basic Layout
The sonagraph consists of three components: a printer, a monitor and the console (depicted above). Additionally, a microphone is usually in the vicinity for inputing data into the sonagraph. The on/off switch is located on the power strip behind the console. There is also a small black power switch in the bottom right corner of the console; this switch has tape over it and should not be tampered with.
3. Console
The console consists of several buttons which are grouped according to the functions they perform. There are nine groups of buttons, each delineated by boxes (see picture above). Six boxes are outlined in gray, one in blue, and one in red. These will be discussed in turn.
Input: The input region of the console is outlined in blue and is located in the bottom left corner of the console. Data may be inputed from either a microphone or from another source (e.g. tape recorder, DAT recorder, computer, etc.) into one of two channels. The choice of channels does not make much difference, though the default is typically channel 1. There are four input plugs, two for microphone and two for auxiliary cables, one of each per channel. Input levels can be adjusted in increments of 1 or 10 decibels by pushing the buttons in the smaller blue boxes within the larger blue box. The decibel levels pop up on the monitor when the input level buttons are pressed.
Recording levels register on the red lights in the input box. Ideally, recording levels should fall within the range indicated by an illuminated green light. If the red light is illuminated, recording levels are too high and should be lowered.
Record: The record box is red and is located in the middle of the bottom third of the console. Pressing the on button begins the recording, while pressing the off button stops it. The recording continues until the off button is pressed, at which point the monitor will display the message: Enhance is necessary. This message is your cue to press the E button in the special functions menu (see below).
Special functions: The special functions region is in the middle of the console and delineated in gray. It consists of six lettered buttons. The most important of these buttons is E which you must press once you press the off button to stop recording. Pressing E allows the sonagraph to enhance the image(s) corresponding to what was recorded. Pressing D gives a few options for redrawing and aligning the screens. Pressing F changes the color(s) of the images; keep on pressing F to see the various options which range from traditional white and gray to various shades of fire. Pressing C provides you with various options for playing the data which is stored on the screen. Some of these options require cursors which are discussed below. Buttons A and B are rarely used. A allows one to vary the reference amplitude for the displays and B is non-functioning.

How to use this page
How to run a script
Scripts save Praat users time and effort by automating a sequence of operations. To run a Praat script, go to the Control menu in the Praat objects window and select New Praat script. Then pull up the code for the desired script by clicking on one of the links below. Copy all the code there (e.g. highlight and Ctrl-C on a PC) and paste it into the new untitled script window. Finally, select Run > Run (or type Ctrl-R) in the untitled script window to execute the script. How to save a script or add it to the menu
In the open untitled script window with the new script pasted in the text box, go to the File menu to Save the script to a convenient location. The Add to fixed menu... command under File can be used to add the current script to one of the head menus in the Praat objects window. Menus can be edited (e.g. to remove previously added scripts) by going to Control > Preferences > Buttons and clicking on the desired command. How to script in Praat
See the Scripting tutorial under Help in Praat objects or try Setsuko Shirai's tutorial.

Drawing pictures
draw-sample-figure (Hugo Quené)Demonstrates how to draw a figure (graph) using a script (HQ's scripts).

Mietta Lennes: a large number of scripts, many quite involved, with very informative descriptions.

annotate-using-manpage (John Tøndering)Annotate a TextGrid with phonetic symbols using ManPage (see JT's description).
make-stereo (Chris Darwin)Combine selected Sounds to make a stereo Sound file.
spectral-rotation (Chris Darwin)
F2 track correcter: setup, fix-formants (see Katherine Crosswhite's description).
Praat scripts: links and online collections
In no particular order:
Praat: main Praat website (e.g. download the program).
Praat users group: Yahoo! discussion group for Praat users; some scripts available in database.
Mietta Lennes: a large number of scripts, many quite involved, with very informative descriptions.
Setsuko Shirai: a PDF introduction to Praat scripting and a few scripts.
Johan Frid: one of the largest collections online, but most of the scripts are old and need to be updated to work.
Chris Darwin: CD's advanced scripts for e.g. sine-wave speech, Shannon AM-noise speech, resizing vocal tract, etc.
Paul Boersma: explore links for various highly tailored scripts associated with PB's 1998 dissertation.
Katherine Crosswhite: the code of the first few scripts is very well documented; good for learning Praat scripting.
Hugo Quené: some neat scripts, including several metronomes.
Niels Petersen: 20-some scripts at the bottom.
Bert Remijsen: some very well explained scripts, with sample input.
John Tøndering: a “Label.man” (annotate from ManPage) package plus a few other common scripts.
Joe Toscano: a few scripts, including “Word Chomper.”
Gabriël Beckers: some acoustic scripts, but apparently not formatted properly with newlines.
Michael J. Owren: downloadable GSU PraatTools, "scripts for analyzing, modifying, and synthesizing sounds using Praat"
