Praat under the hood

Abstract

For technically interested readers some of the programming aspects of the Praat program will be discussed. We explain how reading and writing of objects takes place by explaining how Paul Boersma used the macro programming facilities of the C++ language. We further explain the inclusion of the external programs, especially the eSpeak NG speech synthesizer. To entertain the not technically interested reader we have included some specially crafted personalised sudokus that can be solved.
