The format of files

WinSnoori accepts several types of formats for speech and label files. These break into two categories:

- The first category: WINDOWS compatible .WAV files containing the sound signal as well as the phonetic and orthographic labels. WinSnoori utilities can reread these files (ignoring the incorporated label portions). They can be created with the WINDOWS recording software. In the absence of labels, WinSnoori first proceeds to incorporate the appropriate labels.

-The second category: The non.WAV files. Distinguishes between sound signal, phonetic label and orthographic label files. About ten speech signal file formats are available and each is described by a file and half a dozen labeling formats. To read a sound file, WinSnoori asks the operator to supply the speech file format, those of the phonetic and orthographic label files as well as where to find the three files. Refer to the manuals for greater detail.
