Details

This function is a wrapper over system.file() to locate the paths to bundled textgrids. These files are used to test or demonstrate functionality of the package.

Two files are included:

  1. "Mary_John_bell.TextGrid" - the default TextGrid created by Praat's Create TextGrid command. This file is saved as UTF-8 encoding.

  2. "utf_16_be.TextGrid" - a TextGrid with some IPA characters entered using Praat's IPA character selector. This file is saved with UTF-16 encoding.

  3. "nested-intervals.TextGrid" - A textgrid containing an "utterance" tier, a "words" tier, and a "phones" tier. This file is typical of forced alignment textgrids where utterances contain words which contain speech segments. In this case, alignment was made by hand so that word and phone boundaries do not correspond exactly.
