Greetings,

Recently I queried this list for advice on software packages capable of
analyzing sung speech at phonetic and phonological levels, especially those
that can provide accurate pitch tracking.  I'd like to summarize the
results of this query to the list in case they may be useful to others.

Praat was most commonly recommended:

http://www.praat.org
http://fonsg3.hum.uva.nl/praat
http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/praat5133.html

Several respondents also recommended Speech Analyzer from SIL:
http://www.sil.org
http://www.sil.org/anthro/ethnomusicology.htm
http://www.sil.org/computing/speechtools/softdev2/SpeechTools2/SATdownloads2.htm

For several links to phonetic analysis software, see

The Department of Speech and Music Acoustics at the Royal Institute of
Technology in Stockholm has developed the Swell and Soundswell packages;
see  http://www.hitech.se/

Custom software may be available from LingCom, a company specializing in
speech recognition:  http://www.lingcom.de

Many thanks to all who responded!
Best regards,
Michael
