Please drop me an informal thank-you note after using these tools !

scripts for Praat 4.x :

• vowelonset.v3.praat detects vowel onsets in the selected Sound, and collects these vowel onsets (time points) into a PointProcess object.
• writePP.praat writes the content of a PointProcess object to a text file for further analysis (for each point, or vowel onset, its sequential number and its time are written).
• metronomeL000.praat is a one-beat metronome.
• metronomeLH0.praat is a three-beat metronome.
• metronomeLH00.praat is a four-beat metronome.
• metronome.jitter.praat is a jittery one-beat metronome.
• metronome.jitter.alt.praat is a jittery one-beat metronome which can alternate speaking turns: it beeps for N (jittery) cycles, and then keeps quiet for N (jittery) cycles.
  Both jittery metronomes can also generate stable rhythms, by specifying a very small jitter value (like 0.000001).
• figure.praat shows how to produce a figure (graph) with Praat.

other Praat accessories :

• syntax definition file, helpful for editing Praat script in TextPad editor.

LaTeX accessories :

• my notes on integrating LaTeX, BiBTeX, EndNote with apacite and apa packages

script for R and S-Plus :

• some convenient functions for everyday use.
• minFprime.ssc is a function to compute minF' test statistic, after Clark (1973).

script for SPSS :

• rmanova.sps shows how to perform Repeated Measures ANOVA in SPSS, using the MANOVA and/or GLM commands, with subjects and words (items) as random factor; such RM ANOVAs are often used in phonetic and psycholinguistic studies.

FEP accessories :

• rhythm3.fep is an example script to run a phoneme monitoring experiment, using the FEP experimentation software. This script requires a stimulus list file such as rhythm3HO1.sti.
• fep2data.awk is a Unix awk script which merges subjects' result files (generated by FEP) into a single data file, with the subject number as an additional column in the merged file. My FAQ [in Dutch] has a longer explanation.
