Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist
* Package name : praat Version : 4.3 Upstream Author : Paul Boersma and David Weenink * URL : http://www.praat.org/ * License : GPL (with one exception, see below) Description : program for speech analysis and synthesis According to its authors, praat is "doing phonetics by computer". Through its graphical interface, several speech analysis functionalities are available: spectrograms, cochleograms, and pitch and formant extraction. Articulatory synthesis, as well as synthesis from pitch, formant, and intensity are also available. Other features are segmentation, labelling using the phonetic alphabet, and computation of statistics. Praat is configurable and extensible through its own scripting language and has provisions for communicating with other programs. A preliminary version of the package is available at the apt-getable repository http://people.debian.org/~rafael/praat/ If there are no objections, I will upload the package in one week or so. Although the program is released under the GPL, there is a exception for one file. I think I will need to deceide if the term are compatible or not with the DFSG.
