hello, I want to get the amplitude of each pulse, can I substitute the
amplitude by the "Get root-mean square"? thank you.

One thing you should check is that the editor really is a "Sound" edit
window.  For example, if you have both a sound object and a TextGrid
selected for editing, the editor window is technically for the
TextGrid.  So you would have to say:

editor TextGrid 'object_name$'

You can check this by just looking at the upper left hand corner of the
editor window where it will say either "Sound" or "TextGrid" (or
whatever) and then the object name.

I hope that solves your problem.

Best,

K.

the following is a script which treats a batch of folders each of
which should contain a file with the same name as the folder and with
an extension which is specified in the form (in your case .wav)

It can easily be adapted for a number of different purposes - this
version treats the data for the information you requested.
Note that rather than use the editor (with Get pitch etc) the program
uses To Pitch... etc then Get mean...

The default pathname of the folder and the path separator are for a
Macintosh computer
- if you use Windows it would be something like C:\Paola\Sounds
\Italian and the path separator would be \

hi,
I am working on a sound file and i don't have text grid file. I want

can find this information.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has the time to answer my question
regarding an MFC Experiment that I am trying to run. I am using the
following script and I am having difficulties running it. The Praat
website mentions that I need to open it via the "Read from file"
command, but when I try this I get an error message: "Found an
enumerated value while searching for a string".  can only open it as
a Script, but then I can't run it.
I don't know if there is a particular format that I need to save my
scrip as. For the time being I have it as a text file. Maybe the
problem might be in the script itself, but it doesn't seem likely,
given that it gets stuck on the very first line.

Thank you very much for your time,
Truly,
Angelos


This is the script I am using (taken from the Praat website):

the website is about the current version of Praat. You must instead have a
version of Praat that is at least half a year old. If you download a newer
version of Praat, your experiment will open.

Hi,

How would I create a script that would:

Find the 3 highest and the 3 lowest amplitudes from a spectral slice
and what frequencies these are.

Example:

221Hz              60db

110Hz               53db

1845Hz            22db

----------------------------

1653Hz              3db

176Hz               7db

181Hz            12db

----------------------------
Any idea?

          Thank you

          Fabrice Mogini

Dear members of the list,

   in order to better understand how the autocorrelation function works, I would
be very thankful if you could give me any indication on what the "longest
periods" mean, since they depend so much on the pitch floor.

   Best regards,

   Stephen

If the lowest pitch that you can measure is 100 Hz, then that means that the
minimum number of periods that you can measure per second is 100. This is
because "Hertz" means the same as "periods per second".

If the lowest pitch that you can measure is 100 Hz, then the longest period that
you can measure is 10 milliseconds, because 100 periods of 10 milliseconds fit
into a second. Pitches below 100 Hz will then not be regarded as pitches, and
periods above 10 ms will not be regarded as periods.

The explanation above cannot replace an explanation with the help of pictures.
The book "vowels and consonants" by Peter Ladefoged is one of the textbooks that
clearly explain the relation between pitch and period, with appropriate
graphics.

For people who like formulas: pitch=1/period and period=1/pitch...

Dear all, dear Paul!

I often need to process large TextGrids with praat. Everytime I try
working on larger files, the script hangs, but each time I call it, it
hangs at a different position in the Textgrid. So the general error is
repeatable: Praat says something like "should be a natural positive
number (is 0)", but the number is definitely always positive. Sometimes
it hangs at a different position (which contains a similar expression).
One time I solved this problem by writing all the stuff I had to process
into a text file and working on this data from within another script.
This time this is not an option and the problem rather looks like a
memory hole.

A similar problem ocurred, when I had about 30 objects in the praat
objects window. Then also some strange errors occured, that could be
cured by removing the files in each run of the main loop.

The present "problem" looks like that:
143  tmid =  tssy + (tesy - tssy) / 2
144  imid =  Get interval at time... 'tone' 'tmid'
145  tone$ =  Get label of interval... 'tone' 'imid'

where I find the middle of an interval, get the number of the interval
in another tier (here "tone") and fetch its label, nothing wrong with
that. But in 145 that strange error occurs after the script put a
randomly varying amount of lines into a destination file.


Kind regards,

Dear All

I am having big problems uploading my data into Praat because the audio
samples are only 1 bit with a sample rate of 8kHz and according to the
program notes it should be at least 4 bits. The reason my data is in
this very strange format is because it consists from pre-recorded files
of call centre telephone calls. The call centre uses a program called
DSP group True Speech (TM) to record the calls as .wav files. Obviously
it is not normally necessary to do anything more technical than listen
back to the calls.

I understand that Praat can only accept a certain minimum amount of
information on a sound file and so it may be that I cannot analyse this
data acoustically at all, but if anyone has any suggestions for getting
around this I would be very grateful for them! They play fine in Media
Player and the speech is clearly discernable (although the recordings
aren't the best quality mostly due to background noise).

Thanks

Suzy

It looks as though you are trying to report a bug (programming error by us). The
Praat discussion list is not really meant for that, because only the authors of
the Praat program can correct bugs.

> Praat says something like "should be a natural positive
> number (is 0)", but the number is definitely always positive.

"something like" is a little too vague for us to work with. Please report what
Praat actually says, perhaps "Interval number should be a natural positive
number (is 0)"?

Also, if you report a bug, then please mention the Praat version and your
operating system, and if you report a bug related to a script, then please send
me the complete script.

A zero in 'imid' would mean that there is no interval at time 'tmid' on tier
'tone'.

>that strange error occurs after the script put a
>randomly varying amount of lines into a destination file.

If you mean that with the *same* TextGrid the problem occurs at varying points
in the loop, then that certainly sounds like a bug. But I need more specific
information to be able to hunt it down, if it is one.

I've been playing with PRAAT on a new Dell running the latest version of
XP and it exhibits a behavior I haven't seen before.  In an Editing
window, whether maximized or smaller, I can't get to the buttons at the
bottom of the screen (scroll bar, 'selection' etc.).  They are just
barely visible at the bottom of the window (actually the scroll bar
isn't even visible).  I know there are keyboard shortcuts, but I've
gotten into the habit of zooming to selection and scrolling with the
mouse.  Is there some setting hidden somewhere that will fix this?
Resizing the window with the mouse doesn't change how much is visible in
the window.

Dear Paul, dear All,

We are currently trying to find a way of creating orthographic
transcripts of multi-speaker conversations (e.g. 3 speakers) from Praat
sound/textgrid files. We are able to create the basic textgrid files
such that each speaker has its own interval tier showing boundaries for
speaker overlap. What we can't do is extract these tiers to text file
for subsequent display of the orthographic transcript in the usual
format of speakers taking turns (without all other textgrid tier
characteristics e.g. time stamps).

In the ideal world we would like to use Praat as the source to create
time linked orthographic transcripts with the ability to be able to
view the transcript as a text file but with links to the sound portions
and return to the Praat Sound/textgrid view with waveform, etc..

Can anyone who's done this please advise us how to do it?

Many thanks

Dear all,

I am looking for a bit of help regarding scripting on long sound files.
I have tagged my transcriptions with the words I wish to analyse, and
want to write a script that will go through the whole of the (long)
textgrid and take formant measures at the midpoints I select, as
opposed to single word files. In addition, I wish to edit the formant
logs so I can input the token word to be able to see which word belongs
to which set of formant logs. My tentative tests of this has shown me
that the log files are overwritten on each new logging procedure. Is
this possible? I am very new to scripting, so if this is possible any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Bob

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are trying to do but the
following script prints out all labelled intervals from a multi-
tiered TextGrid in chronological order with the name of the
corresponding tier and the start and end of the interval:

chronological order
#requires: one TextGrid (selected)

nTextGrids = numberOfSelected("TextGrid")
if nTextGrids != 1
	 pause Please select one TextGrid
endif
nSpeakers = Get number of tiers
duration = Get total duration

Dear ALL,

I am currently working on a lot of wav. files of 3 seconds from
subjects. For each wav. file, I have to determine the actual
boundaries (the onset and endpoint)of subjects' utterance and measure
the duration of the utterance.
My possible solution is listing all the intensity points of the wav.
files and then using the threshold of 50dB to detect the onset and
endpoint for the listing intensity points. Finally, I can get the
interval of the onset and endpoint.
I wonder if anyone has ever done this before and kindly told me how to
write a script to finish the task automatically. If you have another
kind of solution, it will also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Rather than use the editor and make log files interactively it is
probably more efficient to first create a TextGrid with an interval
tier with the word labels and a point tier with the midpoints where
you want to make the measurements.

Then you can use a script like the following which needs one Sound or
LongSound and one TextGrid (both selected) and outputs the
measurements (here it measures F0, F1, F2 and F3) together with the
word label and the duration of the word to the Info window which you
can then save to a text file. You could of course send the output
directly to a text file.

This has the advantage that you keep a trace of the points in the
TextGrid and if you want to modify them you can run the script again
with the new TextGrid.

best wishes

Hello i'm new to Praat. I have read how to get a phonetogram in
praat "create both a Pitch and an Intensity of a Sound. You then
select the
two together and choose Draw Phonetogram." But you have to have more
than one tone right? Are there anyone who can help me with a little
toturial or anything so i can make a phonetogram.

Widen the window so that the entire menu fits in one row. Then close the window
and click Edit again.

I am not surprised. Although you did not tell me what Praat's error message was,
I can see four mistakes:

1. no space after "formant";
2. a strange quote after the first "fi" (should be a space, I think);
3. a strange quote after the second "fi";
4. no space between the frequiency and the bandwidth.

>the objects "sound bada1,......... sound bada10" are not getting played

in the manual, please read the text below that example script.

Sorry to insist but no one answered my previous question, so I make
it simpler:

I would like to create a script that identifies the  highest and the
lowest amplitudes from a spectral slice
and print what these two frequencies are.

example:
Highest amplitude= freq112Hz

Lowest amplitude=freq 896.1Hz

Can anyone give me hints on what to do?

Thanks

Hi praat users,

Does anybody know how to script praat to create a periodogram?

Adam Jacks

Hi there im wondering if any of you could tell me how to solve this
problem. Im looking to be able to take 1 seconds worth of a 20 second
wave file and use this one second to search through thousands of other
wav files for the same signature. Any of these wave files which do
have the same signature i would like to mark them in some way so as i
know which they are. I was told it could be done using DTW and
scripting but im a novice to this program and was directed here for
assistance. Any help would be much obliged.

Thanks.

Dear colleagues

          Could you please guide me how to do parametric synthesis
(klatt synthesis) using Pratt.  I need to synthesize a voiced
consonant with variable Fo.
