Annotation Pro: a software platform for phonetic and paralinguistic annotation
and perceptual experimentation.

The Annotation Pro software provides a configurable display of the speech
signal (spectrogram, waveform), multi-layer categorial, dimensional or
numerical annotation. Numerical annotation (e.g. pitch, judgment scales) can
also be displayed as charts.

Annotation Pro can also be used to annotate texts independently of speech
signals (e.g. for morphological glossing).

Annotation Pro extends the potential of a typical multi-tier annotation tool
in two main ways:

- A new type of component based on a graphical feature space representation
which supports the annotation of continuous and non-categorial features (e.g.,
annotation of affective states or emotions in speech using either dimensions
or categories - or combining both approaches);
- Perception test options aimed especially (but not exclusively) at testing
phonetic hypotheses related to continuous and noncategorial features.

Annotation Pro has a plugin architecture in order enable flexible extension of
functionality with user developed options implemented in C#. Existing plugins
used in published research are shared at http://annotationpro.org/plugins/,
e.g.:

- TGA + Annotation Pro Plugin,
- SRMA (Speech Rate Moving Average) Plugin.

The set of shared plugins is being continually extended. Comments and
suggestions on all aspects of functionality, implementation and
interoperability are welcome, and should be sent to katarzyna at klessa.pl
