![]() The f0 trimming and time-normalization algorithms, which are part of the core of the script, were developed in my PhD research ( Xu 1993), which were then implemented in a C program working in conjunction with xwaves, which, like Praat, generates automatic vocal cycle markings and saves most of the human labor in marking the cycles manually as done in my dissertation. On the other hand, it also allows human intervention of processes that are prone to error in automatic algorithms such as pitch detection and segmentation. It has maximally reduced the amount of human labor by automating tasks that do not require human judgment, such as locating and opening sound files, taking measurements, and saving raw results in formats ready for further graphical and statistical analysis. It allows us to systematically process large amount of speech data with high precision. ![]() ProsodyPro is developed as a convenient tool for our own research.

The beta version ( 6.1.3 ) allows users to leave individual sentences in the original recording, without extracting them to separate sound files.
