PRAAT SCRIPTS

Mean Pitch, Intensity, and Duration extractor

Two scripts to reverse-engineer information about the recording environment:

    1. Extract all silences, concatenate and save them as one long .WAV, and then extract acoustic measures (Intensity, COG, SD) before outputting values to .txt file

    2. Extract all silences, and then extract acoustic measures (Intensity, COG, SD, Duration) for each silent portion before outputting results to a .txt file
