  • FormantPath window: more information shown.
  • Windows audio: compatible with speakers that do not support mono.

6.2.04 (18 December 2021)

  • Praat now includes eSpeak 1.51, raising the number of supported languages from 100 to 130.
  • Scripting: support for `infile`, `outfile` and `folder` fields in forms.
  • Calling Praat from the command line: the switch `--open` now adds files to an already running instance of Praat; this was already the case on Windows, but it now works in the same way on the Mac and on Linux.

6.2.03 (3 December 2021)
