Description:

WaveSurfer is an Open Source tool for sound visualization and manipulation.
It has been designed to suit both novice and advanced users. WaveSurfer has
a simple and logical user interface that provides functionality in an
intuitive way and which can be adapted to different tasks. It can be used
as a stand-alone tool for a wide range of tasks in speech research and
education. Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and sound
annotation/transcription. WaveSurfer can also serve as a platform for more
advanced/specialized applications. This is accomplished either through
extending the WaveSurfer application with new custom plug-ins or by
embedding WaveSurfer visualization components in other applications.
