New Praat extraction integration?

[roli...@gmail.com]

Dear Yannick,

I was just wondering if Praat's update on its f0/pitch extraction algorithm affects using Parselmouth. I always use 

call(sound, 'To Pitch', time_step, minimum_pitch, maximum_pitch)

However, the new Praat versions doesn't have a simple 'To Pitch' function any more.

I changed it to 

call(sound, 'To Pitch (filtered ac)', time_step, minimum_pitch, maximum_pitch, 15, "yes", 0.03, 0.09, 0.5, 0.055, 0.35, 0.14)

according to the new function, but it doesn't seem to work. I was wondering if this means Parselmouth can't work with the new versions yet. If that's the case, is there any plan for integrating this? 

Thank you!

Dear

Yes indeed, the current version of Parselmouth (0.4.3) is based on Praat 6.1.38, which is baked into Parselmouth.

I have been working on a new version which would update the internal Praat version, but I've unfortunately had very little time recently to dedicate to this.

There is a plan, though, for Parselmouth 0.5.0, which will include the latest version of Praat: https://github.com/YannickJadoul/Parselmouth/issues/107

However, I'm not sure I can make any promises on when I can finish these last few things.

Kind regards

Yannick Jadoul
