CLAN -> Praat

[Barbara Zurer Pearson]

Dear Infochildes,

I'm wondering if there's anyone sufficiently
familiar with Praat to do a small demo for those
of us who'd like to have a better picture of what
we might want to do with it. I may just be being lazy,
(there *is* an intro in the manual) but I'd like to
see someone take it through its paces on a real project.

I'm thinking of something as informal as bringing
it on a laptop to a conference (like BU?).  I'd be
glad to inquire about finding a space with a data
projector etc.

Does anyone have any ideas about this?  Would
anyone else be interested in this?

Let me know.

Barbara Pearson
