Subject: Re: Spectrogram of formant transition From: Stuart Rosen <stuart(at)PHONETICS.UCL.AC.UK> Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 21:08:09 +0100I highly recommend the use of SFS (http://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/resource/sfs/) which, in my opinion, makes beautiful spectrograms on its default settings (use the wide-band analysis). Other things to remember for pretty pictures: 1) you want ultra-clean recordings, prefereably made in an anechoic chamber. Poor microphones and poor recording conditions will do you no favours. 2) male speech tends to look better than female speech 3) some speakers look (and of course sound!) better than others.
