rPraat package for R constitutes an interface between the most popular software for phonetic analyses, Praat, and R.
Version 1.3.2-1
For demonstration, see html/rDemo.html
Package documentation https://github.com/bbTomas/rPraat/blob/master/rPraat.pdf
CRAN link: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=rPraat
See also: mPraat toolbox for Matlab.
rPraat and mPraat homepage: https://fu.ff.cuni.cz/praat/
One-time installation (internet connection needed).
install.packages("rPraat")
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bbTomas/rPraat")
At each R session, you have to initialize the package (no internet needed).
library(rPraat)
library(dplyr) # optional, if you want to use the pipeline operator %>%
tg.sample() %>% tg.plot() # demo test
We have invested a lot of time and effort in creating mPraat toolbox / rPraat package, please cite it when using it for data analysis.

v1.3.2-1 (2021/02/27): pitch.read(), formant.read() fix to new Praat text formats
v1.3.2 (2021/01/28): pt., it., pitch., formant., snd. getPointIndexHigherThanTime(), getPointIndexLowerThanTime(), getPointIndexNearestTime()
v1.3.1-1 (2020/04/04): formant.read(), formant.write(), pitch.read(), pitch.write(): better handling of –undefined– values
v1.3.1 (2020/04/04): tg.plot(): can plot formant and pitch objects in frame and array formats
v1.3 (2019/12/04): tg.boundaryMagnet(): align interval boundaries in a target tier according to a pattern tier
v1.2.0-3 (2019/04/27): if “UTF-8” encoding is specified in .read() functions (i.e., default value) and input file cannot be read properly, then “auto” encoding is tried automatically with a warning message notification
v1.2.0-2 (2019/04/01): “UTF-16” TextGrids are properly saved in “UTF-8”
v1.2.0-1 (2019/03/16): detectEncoding(): removed “UTF-16LE” (does not work anymore), tg.read(fileName, encoding = “auto”) works again
v1.2.0 (2018/12/08): pitch.write(), formant.write(), col.write()
v1.1.4 (2018/12/08): pitch.cut(), formant.cut(), snd.cut(); pitch.cut0(), formant.cut0(), snd.cut0()
v1.1.3-4 (2018/12/03): snd.read(), snd.write(), snd.plot(), as.snd(); tg.plot() can plot TextGrid together with Sound object; it.plot() can plot IntensityTier together with Sound object
v1.1.3-3 (2018/12/03): formant.toFrame(), pitch.toArray(), pitch.toFrame(), pitch.plot(); tg.plot() can plot TextGrid together with Pitch object; pitch.plot() can plot Pitch object together with PitchTier
v1.1.3-2 (2018/10/29): formant.plot(), formant.toArray(); tg.plot() can plot TextGrid together with Formant object
v1.1.3-1 (2018/10/26): tg.plot() can plot TextGrid together with PitchTier and IntensityTier in one plot
v1.1.3 (2018/10/20): formant.read(), formant.sample(), as.formant(); col.read() can read formant objects
v1.1.2-1 (2018/10/20): tg.plot(): right-aligned labels; pitch.sample(), as.tg(), as.pt(), as.it(), as.pitch(); .read(), .sample() and tg.createNewTextGrid(): class(object)[“type”] set to “TextGrid”, “PitchTier” etc. and class(object)[“name”] set according to fileName
v1.1.2 (2018/08/04): tg.cut(), tg.cut0()
v1.1.1 (2018/08/02): IntensityTiers: it.read(), it.write(), it.plot(), it.sample(), it.interpolate(), it.cut(), it.cut0(), it.legendre(), it.legendreDemo(), it.legendreSynth(), col.read() supports IntensityTiers
v1.1.0 (2018/08/01): col.read() to read Collection in Text and Short-text format (Collection may store many objects in one file – TextGrids, PitchTiers, Pitch objects). Big thanks to Pol van Rijn for initiating this and making the major portion of the new code in mPraat toolbox. Supports for file encodings in all read functions (thanks to Weirong Chen for his DetectEncoding idea in mPraat toolbox).
v1.0.8-3 (2017/11/27): tg.write(): fix for possible UTF-8 encoding and Windows OS locale mismatch
v1.0.8-2 (2017/11/04): tg.write() and pt.write() format support: “text” (full text format), “short” (short text format), and in addition for pt: “spreadsheet” and “headerless”; tg.read(), pt.read() and pitch.read(): optional file encoding parameter (default: “UTF-8”)
v1.0.8-1 (2017/09/01): bugfix, short-text TextGrid with multiple lines in a label no longer produces “missing sppasFormat variable” error
v1.0.8 (2017/07/16): pitch.read() to read Pitch-object files with time frames of pitch candidates
v1.0.7 (2017/04/19): tg.findLabels(), tg.duplicateTierMergeSegments()
v1.0.6 (2017/04/11): pt.cut(), pt.cut0()
v1.0.5 (2017/04/10): pt.legendre(), pt.legendreSynth(), pt.legendreDemo()
v1.0.4 (2017/03/06): pt.interpolate(), pt.Hz2ST()
