Does that make them impossible to transcribe using this program? I’ve used this program for many years (currently have version 3.1 installed) and especially like the features of measuring segment length and pitch at various points. Possibly PRAAT offers the same features, but I need help learning how to use it for this purpose.</p> </div> <div itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/InteractionCounter"> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="http://schema.org/LikeAction"/> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <span class='post-likes'></span> </div> <div class='crawler-linkback-list' itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/ItemList'> <div itemprop='itemListElement' itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/ListItem'> <a itemprop='url' href="https://community.software.sil.org/t/about-the-speech-analyzer-category/446/2">About the Speech Analyzer category</a> <meta itemprop='position' content='1'> </div> </div> </div> <div id='post_2' itemprop='comment' itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/Comment' class='topic-body crawler-post'> <div class='crawler-post-meta'> <span class="creator" itemprop="author" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <a itemprop="url" href='https://community.software.sil.org/u/Terry_Gibbs'><span itemprop='name'>Terry_Gibbs</span></a> </span> <span class="crawler-post-infos"> <time itemprop='datePublished' datetime='2022-08-05T03:42:09Z' class='post-time'> August 5, 2022, 3:42am </time> <meta itemprop='dateModified' content='2022-08-05T03:42:09Z'> <span itemprop='position'>2</span> </span> </div> <div class='post' itemprop='text'> <p>SDett,</p> <p>Is this still a problem?</p> <p>In any case there is a revised version of Speech Analyzer at:</p><aside class="onebox allowlistedgeneric" data-onebox-src="https://software.sil.org/speech-analyzer/#downloads"> <header class="source"> <img src="https://software.sil.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/cropped-SIL-Logo-2016-Blue-Small-R-512-x-512-32x32.jpg" class="site-icon" width="32" height="32"> <a href="https://software.sil.org/speech-analyzer/#downloads" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow ugc" title="04:24PM - 20 March 2017">SIL Language Technology – 20 Mar 17</a> </header> <article class="onebox-body"> <div class="aspect-image" style="--aspect-ratio:690/473;"><img src="https://software.sil.org/downloads/r/speech-analyzer/tone.png" class="thumbnail" width="690" height="473"></div> <h3><a href="https://software.sil.org/speech-analyzer/#downloads" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Speech Analyzer - SIL Language Technology</a></h3> <p>A computer program for acoustic analysis of speech sounds</p> </article> <div class="onebox-metadata"> </div> <div style="clear: both"></div> </aside> <p>Terry</p> </div> <div itemprop="interactionStatistic" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/InteractionCounter"> <meta itemprop="interactionType" content="http://schema.org/LikeAction"/> <meta itemprop="userInteractionCount" content="0" /> <span class='post-likes'></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="container wrap"> <nav class='crawler-nav'> <ul> <li itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement'> <span itemprop='name'> <a href='/' itemprop="url">Home </a> </span> </li> <li itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement'> <span itemprop='name'> <a href='/categories' itemprop="url">Categories </a> </span> </li> <li itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement'> <span itemprop='name'> <a href='/guidelines' itemprop="url">Guidelines </a> </span> </li> <li itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement'> <span itemprop='name'> <a href='http://software.sil.org/terms-of-use/' itemprop="url">Terms of Service </a> </span> </li> <li itemscope itemtype='http://schema.org/SiteNavigationElement'> <span itemprop='name'> <a href='http://software.sil.org/privacy-policy/' itemprop="url">Privacy Policy </a> </span> </li> </ul> </nav> <p class='powered-by-link'>Powered by <a href="https://www.discourse.org">Discourse</a>, best viewed with JavaScript enabled</p> </footer> <div class="buorg"><div>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.discourse.org/faq/#browser">your browser is unsupported</a>.
