Praat

[R. Rankin]

   :-)

For those not familiar with it, Praat is the name of a computer program that you
can use to analyze speech phonetically.  It is free and can be downloaded at
www.praat.org.  I downloaded it some time ago on recommendation of my resident
instrumental phonetician, but haven't found the time to get it up and running.
It could be used to analyze accent, pitch and length and their connections in
languages.
