I transcribed in the praat of two people English role-play.
And I need to calculate each person's....
1) speech rate
(mean number of words per minute)
2) breakdown fluency
(mean number of pauses per minute)
3) repair fluency
- repair measures: mean number of partial or complete repetitions, hesitations, false starts and reformulations per 100 words
-filled pauses: mean number of filled pauses
Do I have to calculate manually? It will take long time.
So I found the program forced alinger which I had never used before.
Could anyone tell me how I can calculate those above by chance?
Hello!
The forced aligners (and there are great ones) do (semi-)automatic segmentation of phonetic segments, syllables, words and so.
To automatically calculate parameters such as '1', '2' and '3' you wrote, for example, you would probably need scripts or functions (in Praat, R, Python etc.) dedicated for that.
Here is a script to run from Praat: . This script takes speech rate (syllables per second) and plenty of other prosodic parameters as well as some of the other measures you mentioned.
I hope it helps.
Good luck!
