The following are links to programs and software we use in our experimental research: 
  • Wuggy: Wuggy is a pseudoword generator geared towards creating nonwords for psycholinguistic experiments. 
  • UniPseudo: Similar to Wuggy; a pseudoword generator.  
  • Clearpond: Clearpond is an easy-access resource used for measuring phonological and orthographic neighborhood densities. 
  • The R Project for Statistical Computing: R is free software for statistical computing and graphics. 
  • Gorilla Experiment Builder: Gorilla Experiment Builder is a cloud-based research platform that allows researchers to quickly and easily create and deploy behavioral techniques in experimental studies. 
  • Praat: Praat is a free computer software package for speech analysis in phonetics. 
    • Here you can find a series (23 in total!) of short video tutorials on the functions of Praat
  • ELAN: ELAN is a professional tool to manually and semi-automatically annotate and transcribe audio or video recordings. 
    • Here's an excellent overview on ELAN coding provided by the BU Center for Autism Research Excellence
  • NLTK (Natural Language Tool Kit): NLTK is a leading platform for building Python programs to work with human language data. 
  • Tools for corpus linguistics: This website provides a comprehensive list of 280 tools currently used in corpus compilation and analysis.
Many of us use LaTeX for writing and typesetting in our research: 
  • The LaTeX Project: Here you can discover basic information regarding LaTeX as a document preparation system.
  • Texstudio - A LaTeX editor: Texstudio is an (offline) integrated writing environment for creating LaTeX documents. 
  • Overleaf: Overleaf is a collaborative cloud-based LaTeX editor used for writing, editing, and publishing scientific documents. It is an excellent resource for templates and how-to demonstrations on a number of LaTeX-features and topics. 
  • LaTeX for Linguistics: Mike's homepage contains a number of helpful resources for linguists who use LaTeX.
