<<What is Praat?  I love things played backwards.  A long time ago, messing
around with a friend's unfamiliar tape-recorder, I put in the demo tape, and
heard strange music and a Most Curious Language.  Sounded like fake Swedish
(a little sing-songy) spoken by a Russian (lots of palatalization).  The
most frequent word seemed to be [ojIr'its].  Eventually I figured out, or
was told, that the tape had somehow got rewound backwards.  It was English.>>

Praat is a speech-modulation program. I'm not sure where it is... If you go to the
my ling. 110 website, there's a link to it. Here's that website:
