jsendpraat Test Page

Praat (http://praat.org) is a popular phonetics tool developed by Paul Boersma and David Weenink at the University of Amsterdam. Praat can receive commands from other programs using a mechanism called "sendpraat".

jsendpraat, developed by the NZILBB at the University of Canterbury (http://www.nzilbb.canterbury.ac.nz), includes a Java implementation of sendpraat, and a browser extension (for Chrome and Firefox), allowing interaction with Praat from a web browser. These extensions were developed primarily for use with LaBB-CAT, a brower-based linguistics tool (https://labbcat.canterbury.ac.nz), but can be used to open embedded audio in Praat from any web page.

This page can be used for testing the functionality of jsendpraat.

If the extension is installed and working properly, you should be able to see a Praat icon above, to the right of the URL in the address bar of your browser:

icon to the right.

If not, you may find you have to click your browser's 'extensions' icon, and click the extension in the list in order to activate it:

'Praat Integration' extension listed, ready to be clicked for activation.

You may find you need to 'pin' the extension so that it always appears in the address bar.

If you click the Praat icon, you should see several URLs listed:
