Create script on praat commandsd software license#

Some of these examples require the sendpraat program, which you can download binary and source versions of from the Praat website. And indeed, other languages, especially statically or JIT compiled ones like Julia, C, Rust, Go, or Java will run faster than the Python versions will. But, this is conceivably possible in any language that allows you to call outside programs, so do not feel as though this is your only option.

You are free to use that module (note that it bears a different software license than the rest of the code in this book, namely LGPLv2.1) to follow along. In the new Editor window, select Edit > Paste history.

The example other language used here will be Python, in part because I have already written a module called PraatCommands that allows for easy calling of command line and graphical Praat functionality. However, it is my desire to include examples of code that utilize Praat’s ability to be called from other programs so that you may see how you can use Praat as the workhorse, so to speak, in your own code in other languages. This may seem like a strange place to start. The routines use Praats scripting language to create new menus and commands within the existing interface, and can operate either on individual files or in. Here, the examples will make use of Python.

A couple of things that are different from Windows batch files: There are different command interpretors, called shells. For the most part, commands that you can enter on the command line can be placed in a shell script. This chapter will introduce you to ways that you can utiize Praat and its scripts from within another program or programming language. The equivalent to Windows batch files is shell scripts, and an excellent getting started guide is Bash Scripting. 2 Using Praat Functionality Outside of the Praat Program
