Some scripts I wrote:

text.pl: Converts a XWave label fileformat to a Praat TextGrid for a particular file.
- My first ever script I've written after reading "Learning Perl in 24 hours" for a week (ca. 2003).
Readpair.praat (a praat script that reads wave files and TextGrid files in a directory)
xWaveToTextGrid.praat (a praat script that converts xlabel to praat TextGrid; Designed to work with ton and wrd files in the Boston Radio Speech Corpus.)
nsp2wav.praat (A praat script that converts NSP file format to wav file format in a directory)
IPAchart2manual.praat (12/08/2008; A praat script that makes a praat manual page that embedds the IPA sounds. The script makes use of TextGrid.)
Ear Training for the IPA (International Phonetic Alpabet) symbols (12/15/2008; The Praat script randomly chooses 4 IPA symbols and constructs perception (i.e., identification) experiment so that a student of phonetics can enhance the ability to map the IPA symbol to the corresponding sound, or vice versa. SIL Doulus IPA fonts must be installed on a computer for proper IPA display)[A toy version of the Praat script] [sample sounds (a zip file that contains 4 mp3 files and 4 TextGrids)][screenshot]
nsp2man_v0.praat (Functional and specific to my computer but not complete: My current work on making navigatable manual pages for the University of Victoria Phonetic Database (PDB)) [screenshot 1] [screenshot 2][screenshot 3: TextGrid]
Praat script for rhythm metric (designed for csj corpus): delta C, delta V, %V, %C, Varco V, Varco C, etc.
Python script for rhythm metric (For PVI calculations)
Praat script that you can use to draw a vowel chart manually(12/29/2008) [example output]
The classic "bdg" speech perception experiment (the Identification part; January 31, 2009)
- The bdg sounds are obtained from the Haskins Laboratory
- Praat experimentMFC script: bdg_ident.exp
  - The 13 continuously changing bdg speech sounds are played 2 twice randomly.
- Praat script drawing a diagram as shown below: runAnalysis_bdg_ident.exp
  - bdg_ident.ResultsMFC (An ouput of the bdg_ident.exp)
- The discrimination part of the perception paradigam will be added later


bdg identification	bdg discrimination

LabelHelper (A simple praat script that helps manual-labeling by making an empty TextGrid file)
A pseudo-method of forced alignment using Festival Text-To-Speech Synthesis System
Praat script for voice quality analysis on a data with phoneme transcription (on tier 3).
TIMIT Phone Recognition (Matlab script, adopted and modified from the script which I got from a defunct webpage and made to work only on my window computer so far (with a little bit of hack))
HTK-TIMIT Forced Alignment Toolkit (12/07/2008; Matlab script that serves to apply forced alignment; With many helps from this site]) [screenshot: input text] [a sample sound file (resampled at 16kHz)] [screenshot: output]
