The MACLab Praat Script Archives
Praat is an excellent program for phonetics research that lets you make acoustic measurements of speech patterns.
Check out the Praat website to learn more about it. Praat also contains a scripting language that allows
you to automate many tasks in the program. Below are links to some Praat scripts available around the Internet. If
you have some scripts that you would like listed here, please contact Joe Toscano at joseph-toscano
at uiowa.edu. If you would like your scripts hosted on this page, let me know that, too. Comments and suggestions welcome.
Be sure to also visit the Praat Users Group, a useful resource for discussing features and use of the program. The group has an extensive message archive and a file section that contains a number of handy scripts.
