## Description

Available in Windows and macOS.

- Create  analysis charts of the occurrence of vowels or consonants. Multiple analysis charts can be displayed simultaneously on the same page, or to display two different vowel or consonant charts together, or to simultaneously display charts of two different vowel types (e.g., short vs. long vowels) or two different consonants (e.g., plain vs. NC) together for comparison.
- As an aid to users who may not be completely confident in their ability to transcribe pitch contours, the program has a feature  that will play what a proposed pitch bar notation actually sounds like. This feature uses an artificial buzzer hum that corresponds to a pitch bar representation that has been selected in the data grid.
- Feature classes can be defined using either consonant or vowel features and then designated with upper class letters to allow them to be specified in filters (e.g., Word CV Shape text box) along with (or instead of) the built-in cover symbols C, V, N and S (for sonorant). For example, a user might decide to use the symbol "F" to refer to all front vowels, or a symbol "G" to refer to glides/semivowels, etc.
