Praat is a speech analysis application and source repository for doing phonetics by computer. It was created by Paul Boersma and David Weenink at the University of Amsterdam. The software lets researchers, linguists, clinicians, teachers, and students analyze, synthesize, manipulate, and annotate speech recordings. It supports acoustic inspection through waveforms, spectrograms, pitch tracks, formants, intensity, and related phonetic measurements. Praat also includes scripting tools for...

This de-esser uses a novel approach called Temporal Sibilance Processing. The idea is to distinguish between fricatives and voiced sections of the speech signal by the number of zero crossings in time. Most of the speech file is left untouched (the samples are directly copied from source to destination). Only fricatives that are long enough and loud enough are filtered. The advantage of this approach over traditional approaches is that the clarity of the remaining speech is completely unaffected.
