formant.read: formant.read

In rPraat: Interface to Praat

Description

Reads Formant object from Praat. Supported formats: text file, short text file.

Usage

formant.read(fileNameFormant, encoding = "UTF-8")

Arguments

fileNameFormant	file name of Formant object
encoding	File encoding (default: "UTF-8"), "auto" for auto-detect of Unicode encoding

Value

A Formant object represents formants as a function of time.

[ref: Praat help, https://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/manual/Formant.html]

f$xmin ... start time (seconds)

f$xmax ... end time (seconds)

f$nx ... number of frames

f$dx ... time step = frame duration (seconds)

f$x1 ... time associated with the first frame (seconds)

f$t ... vector of time instances associated with all frames

f$maxnFormants ... maximum number of formants in frame

f$frame[[1]] to f$frame[[f$nx]] ... frames

f$frame[[1]]$intensity ... intensity of the frame

f$frame[[1]]$nFormants ... actual number of formants in this frame

f$frame[[1]]$frequency ... vector of formant frequencies (in Hz)

f$frame[[1]]$bandwidth ... vector of formant bandwidths (in Hz)
