-Colors : WinSnoori uses a few colors for the various displays and 16 gray tones (from white to black) for the spectrograms, hence the need for a screen with 256 colors (or 64 colors at least). A screen having only 16 colors is however acceptable. In this case, WinSnoori replaces the 16 gray tones with the 16 basic colors using them to the best. For a screen with 256 colors, there is an option which provides the possibility of replacing the gray tones with the basic colors used as the colors of a 16 color screen.
- listen:
- record (microphone): sound recording is done with Windows utilities delivered with the sound card and independently of WinSnoori. .WAV is the recommended format in this case. Refer to the “file formats” elsewhere.
- environment:
- print: Use the WINDOWS utilities, the “Print Screen” key in particular to copy the screen into the Windows clipboard (or “Alt+Print screen” to copy the active window). You will next need a text processor (Write, Paintbrush, Works, Word, …) to recuperate the content of the clipboard which you can then print using the print command of the text processor.
- pitch: This is the fundamental frequency of the speech signal and is also called F0.
- clipboard: WinSnoori has its own clipboard for use with the Edit menu commands (cut, copy, paste, erase).
- highlighted region: this is a portion of the signal defined with the mouse which appears as a highlighted region in the speech and spectro windows. Several menu commands apply to this region. In the absence of such a zone, these commands apply to the entire portion of the signal displayed.
