ANNOUNCE: Speech Filing System 4.5 (January 2004)
Windows Tools for Speech Research
Now available at download from http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/resource/sfs/
Many additions and improvements, including algorithms taken from the
Entropic Signal Processing System (namely "get_f0", "formant" and
"epochs", licensed from Microsoft), new ideas for scripting SFS, better
printed spectrograms, improved usability.
Summary of Changes in 4.5:
New FXRAPT program for fundamental frequency estimation & tracking, with
code from ESPS
New FORMANAL program for formant estimation & tracking with code from ESPS
New TXANAL program for pitch epoch detection with code from ESPS
New support for scripting with SFS:
New 'item' variable in SML for manipulation of whole data sets
New MATLAB API for reading/writing SFS files
New Manual section demonstrating scripting with BASH, SML and MATLAB
New Run Program/Script dialog in SFSWin
Improved usability in ESWIN, including more keyboard commands to help
annotation
Can now copy display to clipboard in ESWIN and ESECTION
Improved usability in SFSWIN, including more keyboard control of item lists
Improved printing of spectrograms which adapts to printer resolution and
has smaller print files
Improved PHOSYNTH for formant synthesis from transcription
Improved DIG program for manipulating graphics
Bug fixes in low-level SFS libraries in areas of item deletion and
device-independent graphics
Enjoy!
