Praat script.

Process Description: This Praat script modifies the Fundamental Frequency (F0) contour of a selected sound object in two sequential steps: Stylization (smoothing/simplifying the contour) and Shifting (transposing the pitch). The script uses Time-Domain Pitch Synchronous Overlap and Add (TD-PSOLA) resynthesis to apply these changes to the final audio output.

Quick start
