SPPAS - the automatic annotation and analysis of speech

Features:

SPPAS is a multi-platform and public annotation software tool. It is able to produce automatically speech annotations from a recorded speech sound and its orthographic transcription. Some special features are also offered for the analysis of any kind of annotated files.

SPPAS is a scientific computer software package written and maintained by Brigitte Bigi of the Laboratoire Parole et Langage, in Aix-en-Provence, France.

SPPAS's data files are XML-based (xra files). However SPPAS is compatible with Praat, Elan, Transcriber, Annotation Pro and many others.

Supports:

SPPAS is partly carried out thanks to the support of the French state program ORTOLANG (Ref. Nr. ANR-11-EQPX-0032) funded by the « Investissements d'Avenir » French Government program, managed by the French National Research Agency (ANR).

SPPAS is also partly carried out thanks to the support of the following projects or groups:
