Edit folder

[To access the tools, select 'Fast Track > Tools' in Praat.]

After a folder analysis has been carried out, this function will let you manually edit any formant tracks that are placed in the "formants_edited" folder created during the analysis. For more information about manually editing formant tracks please see this page.

Make copies of the winning formant objects (kept in the formants_winner folder) you want to edit, and place these in the formants_edited subfolder. Make sure they are copies because the winning formant files will be deleted from this folder after editing (deletion would not be a big deal as these can be renegerated easily and quickly by repeating step 3 of the folder analysis (described here).

After placing copies of winning formant files into the formants_edited subfolder, select the Edit Folder option in Tools. This will loop through each file in the folder. The user has the option of manually editing each track. Once the track is accepted, a final copy of the formant object is saved called filename_edited, and the 'filename_winner_' version is erased from the subfolder. Optionally, CSV files and images can also be generated at this point.
