NAME
     spaned - speech editing controlled by annotations

SYNOPSIS
     spaned (-w overlapwidth) (-c) control-file outfile

DESCRIPTION
     spaned is a program to concatenate a number of  speech  seg-
     ments  from different files into a single speech signal con-
     trolled by times or annotations listed in  a  control  file.
     The  control file consists of one line per speech section to
     process giving (i) the filename, (ii) the speech item, (iii)
     the  annotation item, (iv) the start annotation or time, (v)
     the end annotation or time.  If the  item  numbers  are  not
     given,  the last appropriate item in the file is chosen.  If
     no start time or annotation is given then it defaults to the
     start of the item.  If no end time or annotation is given it
     defaults to the end of the annotated region if a start anno-
     tation  is  supplied,  or  otherwise to the end of the item.
     Items should be separated by commas.  To prevent clicks sig-
     nals are slightly overlapped and weighted by a raised cosine
     window, Speech items must match in sampling rate.
