Sociophonetic Analysis Tools
Central to the laboratory's mission is the elicitation of speech in both laboratory and naturalistic settings. Below are lab-member developed tools (unless otherwise stated) for acoustic analysis, between- and within-speaker normalization, and visualization of acoustic properties of speech.

Description
Standalone application and manual for Wassink's tool for quantifying spectral overlap between vowel distributions. Runs as a Windows .exe.
Free tool for analyzing phonetic data.
Editor window Praat script for measuring vowels at 20%, 50%, and 80% of vowel duration.
A script designed to extract vowel formants, duration, timestamps, and other information from P2FA-generated TextGrids.
Forced-aligned TextGrids must be hand-corrected before any automated measurement can be done. This script is designed to speed up the process and be customized to fit the needs of the analyst.
Praat script that measures pretty much everything in a word and/or vowel, with many user-defined input options. An ongoing work in progress.
A Praat script designed to extract vowel formants, duration, timestamps, and other information from TextGrids.
A number of useful Praat scripts for automating various measurement (and other) processes.

An R package for normalization and plotting of vowels. It's similar in function to Tyler Kendall's vowels.r, but with additional functionality and flexibility.
An R package for manipulating, normalizing, and plotting phonetic and sociophonetic vowel formant data.
A web-based interface to the vowels R package for manipulating, normalizing, and plotting vowel formant data.
