My impression is that these are accurate, but I haven't done extensive tests. I wrote Cool edit to find out what the algorithm was, but the help person seemed rather clueless. I intend to ask the same question of the sound forge people. Note also that Avaaz's software for speech analysis (TFR or something like that does it by three different algorithms. By the way: does anyone know of a good book or review article on the prosodic aspects of speech (English, anyway)? Not the informal linguistics stuff, but precise measurements on typical durations, frequency F0's, variability, melodic patterns, etc. Surely there must be a review paper. I note that several members on this list have been working extensively in this area. Thanks.
