- HarHarVeryFunny 3y agoThose two names, Praat & Wavesurfer are a blast from the past! I also used both a good time ago, when I was teaching myself phonetics. I always preferred the much simpler Wavesurfer. Even back then Praat seemed like a relic from the past, although one could appreciate the effort that had gone into it. Back when I was messing with this stuff, I was planning to build a sequence recognizer/predictor (not unlike transformer in what it does, but not in how it does it) - begining of an AI project - and wanted to start with speech as an input, so wanted to understand it (formants, fricatives, plosives, etc). I did end up building a Qt-based real-time spectrogram for Linux that let me play with things like wideband vs narrowband spectrograms so I could visualize what they were extracting. Never did anything further with it though - part of my scrap pile of abandoned projects, although I may yet resurrect it. https://imgur.com/a/LkpVZzs https://imgur.com/a/LkpVZzs
