2 new procedures for quantifying formant trajectories (Discrete Cosine Coefficient, and Fox & Jacewicz (2009))
improvements to Auto Plot (new standard deviation ellipses, more symbols, automatic calculation of Euclidean distances among all vowels in the plot)
improvement to Quick Transcribe (LPC spectrogram added, an additional style added)
many improvements to auto and manual vowel plots
Akustyk 1.8 (compatible with Praat 4.2.20 or later)
Added a function to create speech-shaped noise (TUTORIAL)
Added a function to mix two signals (e.g., add noise masker to speech) (TUTORIAL)
Added interval analysis of formant amplitudes
Added interval analysis from FFT (in addition to LPC)
Added three different speech synthesis modules: (basic dynamic, speech continuum, and pitch synthesis)
Improved analysis from TextGrid (batch mode formant analysis)
Akustyk is free and open-source. I receive no funding for the development and maintenance of Akustyk. If you find Akustyk useful and would like to support its further development, please make a secure donation via PayPal by clicking the button below (any $US amount you'd like).
