A Web-Based Praat

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Welcome to JSPraat

JSPraat is a work in progress. It aims to make some Praat features available via a web interface. Work has begun in providing a compatibility layer with Praat's TextGrid format.

A List of Classes

  • JSPraat.TextGrid - A JS class for representing a single TextGrid. It has been tested on a small set of examples including interval tiers and point tiers. The constructor takes either a path to a .TextGrid file or takes the contents of a TextGrid file. See main.js for example usage.
  • JSPraat.TimeSyncedGrid - A TimeSyncedGrid displays exactly one WAV form time-synchronized to exactly one TextGrid below the WAV form.

Dependencies

  • jQuery
  • jQuery.mousewheel (2013 Brandon Aaron)
  • D3 v3

Usage

The following is an example of displaying a TimeSyncedGrid as an element in your webpage.

<div class='TSG-container' data-textgrid='path/to/your/textgrid.TextGrid' data-audio='path/to/your/audiofile.wav'></div>


<!-- put this anywhere at the end-->
<script>JSPraat.TimeSyncedGrid.autoRender();</script>

This type of usage is great for talking about TextGrids in personal Blogs and Wikis.

You simply define a div with the class 'TSG-container'. You must provide 'data-textgrid' attribute and may optionally provide a 'data-audio' attribute. Then, anywhere in your JavaScript after your document has loaded call

JSPraat.TimeSyncedGrid.autoRender()
