Testimonials

"It is very helpful to add multiple databases for one analysis view. That is I can have multiple databases from which Phonology Assistant reads whether they be FieldWorks Language Explorer (FLEx) or ToolBox or some other type. For other reasons, I maintain two separate FLEx databases on one language."

Phonology Assistant user

Phonology Assistant can sort lexical items by tone melody and look at tone over an phrasal utterance.

The participatory approach gets immediately at conscious native speaker distinctive categories, and the phonetics thereof. As a follow-up, Phonology Assistant is a great support for charting and searching.

Distribution Charts provide a quick summary of Onset, Coda, and Rhyme occurrences and so much more.
