Welcome to the plotmish wiki!


Description

Plotmish is a python-based formant remeasurement tool. It can be used to correct errors made by automatic formant measurements programs and to annotate the changes.

Plotmish graphically displays vowels based on the first two formant values for easy identification of outliers. Outliers can then be remeasured automatically based on either time or maximum formant values or remeasured manually in Praat.

Plotmish also offers several filtering and vowel identification options that are outlined below.

Plotmish is inspired by Plotnik (Labov)
