The Phonology Template Editor and Search Tool was developed to assist with the phonological analysis of a Bantu language. The program:

  • generates a phonology report;
  • carries out various types of searches of phonetic data;
  • serves as an interactive environment for writing and editing a phonology paper;
  • generates an electronic publishable report (HTML formatted) from a generated phonology report;
  • interfaces with Speech Analyzer;
  • allows creation of user-defined phonology reports;
