CLAN -> Praat

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

  Thanks to guidance from Paul Boersma, it is now possible to send a sound
clip from a CHAT file to the Praat sound analysis program.  To do this, you
must have a CHAT file with audio segments marked by bullets.  You must have
Praat installed. You can get Praat from
http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/
 You must have a brand-new version of CLAN.  Praat must be running when you
do this.  You then place your cursor before the segment you wish to analyse
and pull down the Mode menu and select "Send to Praat" Then you analyze the
clip in Praat.
  Paul tells me that there may be some instability here, particularly for
Macintosh.  So, use this carefully, particularly on the Mac, and if you
have problems please send them directly to me at macw at cmu.edu.  Many thanks.
