I'm working as a forensic linguist at an upcoming trial. No details to share, but I need something highly professional.

Praat is obviously a fine speech analysis program (and I know it well from my university days) -- but is that the program commonly used in industry? What other, more professional options are out there?

  • Some phoneticians use Emu, but I don't think it would be regarded as more 'professional' than Praat. Some also use Matlab, which is relatively pricey, and arguably more 'professional' - I don't know whether there are are any real arguments to prefer Matlab. Perhaps its scripting language is more accomodating than Praat's.

    No, it just seems to be a candidate for being a professional forensic speech analysis tool (which you might be called on to know about even if you don't use it).
