🎁 New tutorial on the R Graph Gallery!

A bump chart by @matschnetzer

The key to clarity in this #dataviz is highlighting a few key lines, preventing the chart from becoming too cluttered (aka spaghetti chart)

➡️ Full code and explanation:

Additionally, you can now control the range of the y-axis when plotting waveforms, fx to ensure that multiple channels share the same range for easier comparison. (Thanks to @susfuchs.bsky.social for suggesting this!)

💥praatpicture 1.6.2 now on CRAN 💥
The main new feature is that there's now a function to draw spectral slices

As a prep for my last lectures on phonetic fieldwork at the LSA summer institute, I created a youtube video guiding users through how I (quickly) mark phonetic variants in recordings. I’m happy to send along the Praat script (or similar versions on my website).

Nice article by @jrkasstan.bsky.social

I wrote a quick tutorial for a student on how to use to R to get Whisper to automatically transcribe your audio. I figured others might find it useful too. #linguistics joeystanley.com/blog/whisper/

praatpicture v1.4.2 is now on CRAN 🍾 meaning that these highlighting options are now available at an R package store near you (and in the Shiny app!). No other major updates this time!

Wow! This looks super useful.

🤜🏼🤛🏼

More helpful (at least for me) resources from the blog archive: Seven (7!) tidyexplain-esque animations (downloadable and CC-licensed) showing how {dplyr}'s mutate(), summarize(), group_by(), and ungroup() all work together #rstats #dataskyence www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/04...

Today I'm delivering an open science lecture for our master students. These kind of lectures are one of the most enjoyable parts of my job

When a talker repeats the same vowel sequence 34 times in quick succession, a good phonetician simply can’t let that opportunity pass.

praatpicture 1.2.0 is now on CRAN, time for a HYPE THREAD 👀💅💯💥🍾🎉🎆

the Shiny app is opened with the shiny_praatpicture() command, but if you want to try it out, it's also running here: rpuggaardrode.shinyapps.io/praatpicture/
(it'll stop running if too many people use it at the same time though)
