\fBpraat\fR
is a program for speech analysis and synthesis\&. Through its graphical interface, several speech analysis functionalities are available: spectrograms, cochleograms, and pitch and formant extraction\&. Articulatory synthesis, as well as synthesis from pitch, formant, and intensity are also available\&. Other features are segmentation, labelling using the phonetic alphabet, and computation of statistics\&. Praat is configurable and extensible through its own scripting language and has provisions for communicating with other programs\&.
