Re: [Bioacoustic-monitoring] annotation/labeling of wav files

[Gianni Pavan <>]

dear all thanks for all the valuable input you gave me.

so far this is the list of program that have been proposed:

Sonic Visualizer, free, multiplatform

Acousmograph, free?, multiplatform

Praat, free, multiplatform

Raven, multiplatform

Audition, mac/win (free only for win, old version but still great)

AmadeusPro, multiplatform

XBAT, for matlab

Triton / Triton Logger, for matlab

Audacity, free, multi platform

I have to work on soundscapes and thus I need to label multiple, sometime overlapping, frequency-time regions of the spectrogram.

I'll test all these for their labeling/annotation capability and I'll post my results.

thanks again

Gianni

Hi Marco,
I agree, Praat is an incredibly versatile program and should allow Gianni to do just what he was hoping to do. Plus I love its sonograms.
And it's available on PCs and Macs.

Hello Gianni,
You should try Praat (praat.org <http://praat.org>).
Praat textgrids are exactly doing what you are looking for and they can be stored (and manipulated) as text files separately.
However, you should probably avoid working on very long files.
If I can help with more, please do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers
Marco

'Amadeus Pro' should do the same thing (on Mac)

dear all, I'm searching for a software to make labels or annotations, e.g. to mark and label specific points in time or specific freqeuncy-time areas on spectrograms of wav files.
the main requirement, other that being easy to use, is to maintain the data separate from the wav file, without touching the wav file.
any suggestion ?
Gianni
