Features
Phonology Assistant has several features to assist you in your phonetics and phonology work.
Work with Source Data
Phonology Assistant works with source data transcribed from the Unicode IPA feature set from FieldWorks, Toolbox, and Speech Analyzer.
Transcription and Parsing
Transcribe Possible Alternatives
Transcribe possible alternatives for phones about which you’re uncertain.
Fine Tune Phonetic Parsing
Specify ambiguous sequences to help analyze phonetic parsing hypotheses by flagging sequences as ambiguous. This allows for various interpretations to be analyzed for validity.
Experiment with Transcriptions
Experiment by changing transcriptions “on-the-fly” without affecting the source data.
Data Analysis
Generate Charts and Histograms
Generate phonetic charts and histograms based on your data corpus.
Search Through Phonetic Data
With Phonology Assistant, you can search through phonetic data.
Distribution Charts
Analyze your phonetic data with Distribution Charts (previously XY charts in version 3.0). Default charts include Rhyme, Onset, and Coda charts.
