What's new?

1.4 (15 January, 2011)

• A new button for ignoring all the search restrictions
• Extension ".TextGrid" is silently recognized
• A minimum pause duration, beyond which the final state of the pre-pausal interval will not be transferred to the post-pausal interval

1.5 (3 February, 2011)

• Set the default value of the "Use final velocity to constrain slope" button to unchecked

1.6 (14 March, 2011)

• Now recognizes an optional silence marker, with the default value "sil". Intervals labeled with the silence marker will be treated the same as blank intervals.

1.7 (22 March, 2011)

• Fixed a bug that led to wrong target parameters when there are two or more long pauses in a sentence.

1.8 (2 November, 2011)

• Now also reports "mean rmse" and "grand correlation" (overall correlation of entire sentence) in "*.means" and "targets.txt".
• Target strength is now represented by thickness of target line (in lime color) in the demo window.

1.9 (11 February, 2012)

• One can now make PENTAtrainer skip a voiceless region by making it a blank interval. Any blank interval with duration < minimum_pause_duration will be treated as a syllable-initial voiceless consonant.

1.9.1 (12 October, 2012)

• In the demo window, the blue dotted line is now the original f0, while the solid red line is the resynthesized f0.

1.9.2 (6 July, 2013)

• The learned target parameters are now automatically added into the interval tiers in the TextGrid window that also displays waveform and spectrograph.
• A new function (Task 4) is added that allows you to modify the automatically learned parameters, or use your own parameters, and perform resynthesis. The parameter modification is done in the TextGrid window, after which you can press the Replot button in the PENTAtrainer1 window to see and hear the newly synthesized f0 contours.
