Uhm-o-meter

The pipeline produces population_uhmometer_metrics which is an implementation of PRAAT scripts to measure fluency automatically

It consists of two PRAAT scripts to measure fluency automatically. A rewritten praat script to measure silent pauses and articulation rate (original script syllable nuclei described in De Jong & Wempe, 2009), and a new script to measure filled pauses. This new script is tested on Dutch and English L2 data.
