ANEDIT

NAME

anedit -- annotation label editor

SYNOPSIS

anedit (-I) (-i item) file

DESCRIPTION

anedit is a program to aid in the transcription of speech signals, but also aids in editing the label strings of existing annotation items. anedit allows the user to edit annotation labels without affecting the number or position of the labels. anedit can play back parts of a speech signal corresponding to the times of annotations, so is useful in generating an orthographic or phonetic transcription roughly aligned to the signal. To create a suitable set of input annotations for editing, use the "npoint" program to first chunk the signal into short regions bounded by pauses.

OPTIONS

-I Identify program and exit.

-i item Select first item matching item specification.
