The segmentation into syllabic nuclei, which is one of the segmentation modes in the Prosogram script, uses a similar approach : detection of peaks in band-pass filtered speech (350-3500 Hz). This approach has been tested on French continuous speech and gives > 90% recall of syllables. Just have a look at the scripts prosomain.praat and segment.praat to see how it works. Hope this helps, Piet
