Introduction
Using tools for investigating speech signals is an invaluable help to teach phonetics and more generally speech sciences. For several years we have undertaken the development of the software WinSnoori which is for both speech scientists as a research tool and teachers in phonetics as an illustration tool. It consists of five types of tools:
- to edit speech signals,
- to annotate phonetically or
orthographically speech signals. WinSnorri offers tools to explore
annotated corpora automatically,
- to analyse speech with several
spectral analyses and monitor spectral peaks along time,
- to study prosody. Besides pitch
calculation it is possible to synthesise new signals by modifying the F0
curve and/or the speech rate,
- to generate parameters for the Klatt
synthesiser. A user friendly graphic interface together with copy
synthesis tools (automatic formant tracking, automatic amplitude
adjustment) allows the user to generate files for the Klatt synthesiser
easily.
In the
context of speech sciences WinSnoori can therefore be exploited for many
purposes, among them, illustrating speech phenomena and investigating acoustic
cues of speech sounds and prosody.

Origin
Snorri was
originally developed on a Masscomp machine in 1987 [1]. It then was
adapted to X11 with the Motif toolkit for Unix machines before being ported on
Windows. Snorri is the name of the Unix version and WinSnoori that of the
Windows (95, NT, 98, 2000, XP) version.
