Hello,
Syrinx (created but no more maintained by John Burt) offers
the same function as Raven and I used it a lot to annotate bats recordings.
You can even program keyboard shortcut or annotations which will appear on
the spectrogram. Below an excerpt from the Syrinx help:
"There are two different ways of storing information in Syrinx:
1) A common log file: in the Log File menu, you can specify a text log file
that receives information logged from all open windows. The information
stored to the common log file can be highly variable: cursor entries,
selection of a window, playback of a sound, storage of a recording buffer,
keystrokes, playback events, etc. Logging to the common log file is highly
configurable, and is recommended for general purpose data and playback
trial logging.
For more information on logging, see Storing cursor values and events to a
log file
and Log file settings
2) An annotation file linked to a specific sound file: You can also store
cursor selections to annotation files linked to specific sounds or
recordings. By attaching an annotation file to a sound, you can add cursor
entries to the annotation file, and view them as persistent blue boxes on
the spectrograph (with comment text). You can also edit annotation entries
on-screen. Although annotation files are text files, similar to common log
files, they have a fixed format, and are linked with only one sound. Sound
file annotation is recommended if you want to store and view persistent
information about a specific sound file, and is particularly useful for
working with long recordings. "
Best regards,
JFJ
