Praat

Praat is a free software tool widely used for analyzing and synthesizing speech. Developed by Paul Boersma and David Weenink, it allows users to study the sounds of human speech in detail, including pitch, loudness, and formants. Researchers, linguists, and educators use Praat for tasks such as investigating language patterns, conducting phonetic studies, or teaching pronunciation. The software enables visual representation of sound waves and offers various functions for manipulating audio, making it valuable for anyone interested in the science of speech and language.
