Praat version 4.300 is available from www.praat.org for Windows Macintosh Linux and Solaris (versions for HPUX SGI and FreeBSD can be created from the source code).
If you have a slow computer the most salient change is that Praat 4.300 is much faster than version 4.2: the pitch and spectrogram analyses have speeded up by a factor of 2 the intensity analysis by a factor of 10 also Praat now reads or opens sound files five times faster than before (on most computers).
