User Guide/Toolbox/Import PRAAT TextGrid

The Import_PRAAT_TextGrid toolbox function can import a TextGrid file created in PRAAT into STx creating one segment per interval and assigning interval text to a segment attribute.

How to use

• In the Workspace, select the sound file you want to import the TextGrid into.
• Select the Import_PRAAT_TextGrid toolbox function from the Toolbox->Dataset menu.
• Load the TextGrid file you want to import by pressing the button with the ellipsis and navigating to the file.
• Choose which attribute to import text into by double-clicking the Attribute entry and entering the attribute name.
• If you wish to skip importing a tier, then double-click the Mode entry for that tier and select skip.
• Specify the base segment id (default: tier) for created segments. Segments are consecutively numbered (e.g.: tier.000, tier.001 etc.).
• Sepecify the tier attribute (default: tier) in which to save the tier name. If you prefer, you can use the tier name as the base segment id (check the tier name = segment id checkbox).
