Separating Homophones

Thank you so much! I have one more question about frequency counts? Is
there a way to combine them across different speakers (but not across
different files)? Specifically, I would like to find out how many instances
of "too" a child gets exposed to in each session, regardless of who
produces it (excluding the child himself/herself).

Sorry about inundating you with questions, and thanks so much for patiently
answering them. I can see how exasperating they can sound at times...
