Estimating vowel formants

This is a series of Praat scripts for estimating formant trajectories and formant targets in a single word production task and in a sentence production task. For the single word production task, you'll find a set of scripts for correcting vowel boundaries and estimating and hand-correcting formant trajectories. For the sentence production task, you'll find scripts extracting target words from sentences, correcting vowel boundaries, and estimating and hand-correcting formant targets.

Scripts: Praat scripts for formant analysis.
