Audiamus, N. Thieberger
http://linguistics.unimelb.edu.au/thieberger/audiamus.htm "A tool for building corpora of linked transcripts and digitised media.
Audiamus instantiates the links to digitised media. It requires no segmentation of the sound/video file. Currently there is no limit to the size of the media file or the number of transcripts. Each 'card' of the current model represents a single transcript (typically a complete side of a cassette). Time-aligned transcripts, as produced for example by SoundIndex or Transcriber are the input for Audiamus.
The transcripts in Audiamus are plain text and can be edited, as can the timecodes. Thus the data in Audiamus is the master copy of the transcript that is improved incrementally with use. To avoid the problem of data being locked up in proprietary formats there is a mass export function that dumps all linked text and timecodes to plain text files, or to whatever format the user selects."

ONZE Miner, R. Fromont - J. Hay, Linguistics Department, University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
http://onzeminer.sourceforge.net/ "ONZE Miner is essentially a database for time-aligned transcripts of audio recordings. Time-aligned transcripts are produced using Transcriber, which creates an XML document lining up the transcript text with the corresponding location in the audio recording. The transcript is then uploaded to ONZE Miner, which allows additional information about the speakers and the transcripts to be stored.
When the speakers have been selected, their utterances can be searched for text or regular expressions.
This returns a list of all of the utterances from the selected transcripts which match the query.
Alternatively, clicking on an utterance returned by the search produces the full transcript for the speaker involved, positioned with the relevant utterance at the top of the screen. Any part of the transcript can be clicked on, and listened to, if the audio media are available.
Clicking on the Praat icon to the left of any given utterance opens that utterance in Praat acoustic analysis software, so that its acoustic properties can be inspected. In addition, a Praat text-grid for the transcript can be generated."

http://www.speech.kth.se/wavesurfer/ "WaveSurfer is an Open Source tool for sound visualization and manipulation. It has been designed to suit both novice and advanced users. WaveSurfer has a simple and logical user interface that provides functionality in an intuitive way and which can be adapted to different tasks. It can be used as a stand-alone tool for a wide range of tasks in speech research and education. Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound annotation/transcription. WaveSurfer can also serve as a platform for more advanced/specialized applications. This is accomplished either through extending the WaveSurfer application with new custom plug-ins or by embedding WaveSurfer visualization components in other applications.

WEDW Edit Waveform Program, Speech Research Lab, University of Delaware - A.I. duPont Hospital for Children
http://www.asel.udel.edu/speech/Spch_proc/wedw.htm "Windows EDW (WEDW) is a fundamentally new program which attempts to provide similar functionality to the Unix/DOS version (EDW), but with a very different user interface.
WEDW retains some of the appearance of EDW in that a waveform display region is always present while spectrogram and pitch marking windows can be toggled on and off as desired. Both EDW and WEDW read and write waveforms in an extended RIFF (Microsoft .WAV) format that includes waveform segment definitions and both are also able to read an older .WAV format that was the original format used by EDW.
WaveformWEDW provides a way to display special symbols such as IPA phonetic symbols when a font for the symbols is available. Prosodic features of duration, F0, and amplitude can be changed."

WinSnoori, BaBel Technologies
http://www.loria.fr/~laprie/WinSnoori/GuidedTourW/index.html "For several years we have undertaken the development of the software WinSnoori which is for both speech scientists as a research tool and teachers in phonetics as an illustration tool. It consists of five types of tools:
to edit speech signals
to annotate phonetically or orthographically speech signals. WinSnorri offers tools to explore annotated corpora automatically
to analyse speech with several spectral analyses and monitor spectral peaks along time
to study prosody. Besides pitch calculation it is possible to synthesise new signals by modifying the F0 curve and/or the speech rate
to generate parameters for the Klatt synthesiser (in the Motif version). A user friendly graphic interface and copy synthesis tools allows the user to generate files for the Klatt synthesiser easily.
xassp, IPDS Institut für Phonetik und digitale Sprachverarbeitung, Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Kiel
http://www.ipds.uni-kiel.de/forschung/xassp.en.html "xassp is an application for displaying, analysing and processing speech signals. It is intended for segmental and prosodic labelling, but can be used for different purposes, because of its numerous configuration possibilities.
User-definable configurations allow to open several associated files together and to automatically perform certain analyses of the speech signal. The configuration Segmental, e.g., is intended for segmental labelling. The windows that are opened when choosing this configuration are:
a speech signal that can be selected in the main dialogThe configuration Prosodic is used for prosodic labelling. When choosing this configuration the following windows are opened:
a sonagram that is computed by means of spectral analysis of the speech signal
the labels that are associated with the speech signal
the selected speech signalAlthough xassp is mainly intended for segmental and prosodic labelling, it provides several additional possibilities for analysing speech signals:
the fundamental frequency computed from the speech signal
the labels that are associated with the speech signal
Fundamental frequency (F0) The fundamental frequency can be displayed in different ways (range, linear or logarithmic scale)
Energy
Sonagram (FFT and LPC)
