E-mail this message to a friend

Toney is a free software tool that supports classification of spoken forms into phonetic categories. Use it to manually sort linguistic forms into clusters, then listen to all items in a given cluster in order to hear any outliers. It is ideal for use in early elicitation tasks, in which the linguistically salient phonetic categories are not yet clearly established.

Toney uses specially formatted Praat TextGrid files and corresponding audio files. Unix, Mac, and Windows distributions are available, along with sample datasets.
