SpeechTool/Ztool (This software is needed for most of the labs. Note: The program runs only under Windows. If you not have access to a Windows machine, you will have to run the labs in the LRC - 1st floor, near the cafe.)

Lab 1: Narrowband vs. broadband/wideband spectrograms

Lab 3: Formant frequency measurement

Lab 4: Vocal tract synthesis/Articulatory synthesis

(1) Installer

(2) Help in getting started

(3) Vocal tract synthesis assignment

(4) Rhotic vowels (ppt slides covering the special case of schwar)

(5) What to do if you have a Mac, or cannot get the software to run on your Windows machine.

Lab 5: Breathy voice

Lab 6: Voice onset time

You should not need to install phonetic symbol fonts, but I leave them here in case I'm wrong.

Phonetic font installer (Windows only -- install fonts to \windows\fonts)

Phonetic fonts for Macs -- Right click the fonts and save them to "/Library/Fonts": SILDoulosIPA, Phonetic2
