You can create a new sound via Menu: "New" → "Record a mono Sound" → "Record" → "Stop" → "Save to the list" → "type the file name" → "OK". When you put the sound files in the list, menus and buttons are become dynamic, and they may change (appear, disappear or be disabled) according to the selected objects. Therefore, the list is empty and the buttons (at the bottom) are disabled and shown in grey. This menu can be used to open the various editors and queries which you’ll need to work with sound files.Īfter opening the program, Praat has no objects in its object list. The Praat Objects window(Figure 1.3 on the left) is where you can open, create and save files. Once you've opened Praat, several windows will open automatically, and there are many other windows which will pop up later on when you click different buttons, so we’d better discuss different windows in Praat before we introducing different buttons.

The target readers of this are those beginners who are not equipped with a strong phonetics or programming background but want to do some phonetic analysis of speech sounds.

However, the majority of the existing Praat manuals were designed for software documentation and assumes a strong phonetics or programming background of readers. There are many Praat tutorials available for helping with the Praat application. Praat was designed to cater for different needs with easy interface, many default options to learn by trying, searchable manual, and various possibilities of analysis, manipulation and labeling (Goldman, 2004: 1). It's free and available for most platforms. It was designed, and continues to be developed, by Paul Boersma and David Weenink of the University of Amsterdam. Praat is an open-software tool for the analysis of speech in phonetics.
