tools with automated feature extraction plugins and annotation capabilities.

as editors for many sorts of audio annotations. Besides visualisation, it can
make and play selections based on the locations of automatically detected
features, seamlessly loop playback of single or multiple noncontiguous
regions, synthesise annotations for playback, slow down playback while
retaining display synchronisation, and show the ongoing alignment in time
between multiple recordings of a piece with different timings.
