What was new in 4.3?

## Praat 4.3, 26 January 2005

General:

  • Apply button in settings windows for menu commands and in script forms.
  • Info window can be saved.
  • Removed 30,000-character limit in Info window.

Phonetics:

  • Speeded up intensity analysis by a factor of 10 (by making its time resolution 0.01 ms rather than 0.0001 ms at a sampling frequency of 44 kHz).
  • Speeded up pitch analysis and spectrogram analysis by a factor of two.
  • Sound: To Spectrum... now has a reasonably fast non-FFT version.
  • Calibrated long-term average spectrum (Sound: To Ltas...).
  • Pitch-corrected LTAS analysis.
  • Sound: Scale intensity.
  • PitchTier: To Sound (sine).
  • Better warnings against use of the LPC object.

Voice:

  • July 9, 2004 (4.2.08): Shimmer measurements: more accurate and less sensitive to additive noise.
  • More extensive voice report: pitch statistics; harmonicity.

Audio:

  • Reading and opening 24-bit and 32-bit sound files (saving still goes in 16 bits).
  • LongSound: save separate channels.
  • Macintosh: much faster reading of WAV files.

Listening experiments:

  • Subjects can now respond with keyboard presses.

Graphics:

  • One can now drag the inner viewport in the Picture window, excluding the margins. This is nice e.g. for creating square viewports or for drawing a waveform and a spectrogram in close contact.
  • Unix: picture highlighting as on Mac and Windows.
  • More drawing methods for Sound and Ltas (curve, bars, poles, speckles).

OT learning:

  • Monitor rankings when learning.
  • OTGrammar: Remove harmonically bounded candidates...
  • OTGrammar: Save as headerless spreadsheet file...
  • Metrics grammar: added *Clash, *Lapse, WeightByPosition and *MoraicConsonant.

Scripting:

  • nowarn, noprogress, nocheck.
  • Line numbers.
