Transcriber vs. Praat

[Nicholas Thieberger]

My experience of both of these is that Praat is a tool for
phonetic/acoustic analysis, while Transcriber or Elan are designed
for producing time-aligned annotations. Praat is best for small
chunks that you want to do a close study of (and does formant
analysis, spectrographs and so on).
