Just to give clarification:
I also only know of the products already mentioned by others, although there
are a number of FREEWARE and inexpensive SHAREWARE tools available to do
this.
1. SOUNDEDIT PRO: A pretty sophisticated product designed for sound
engineers rather than linguists and distributed/produced (I think) by
Macromedia. Unfortunately, I think it has been discontinued although I am
sure your inquirer could pick up a copy somewhere.
2. Eric Keller's SIGNALYZE was the best product for speech engineers to
use on the Macintosh, I do have the latest copy bought from Agoralang,
version 3.12, unfortunately, for commercial reasons, it also had to be
discontinued. It provides a lot more than waveform displays so if you can
still find a copy, do so, it is a good program even today.
Eric Keller also produced an external command which Agoralang used to sell
which would allow some display of intonation curves, etc... on Hypercard and
perhaps other Mac programs, for details of that, see Agoralang.
There must also be a site which specialises on the audio and speech side of
the Mac, if you find it via a search, let Gary Dauphin know and me (if you
can remember), I will then insert details in our forthcoming History of
Speech Technology in Language Learning and in our InSTIL database.
The recommended software program these days for serious speech work for
linguists is a PC tool called Winpitch produced by Philippe Martin, it is
excellent.
Best wishes,
Philippe
