The current manual is compiled from a variety of elaborate manuals with a special focus on those most-frequently used functions and techniques for acoustic analysis.

Praat was designed to cater for different needs with easy interface, many default options to learn by trying, searchable manual, and various possibilities of analysis, manipulation and labeling (Goldman, 2004: 1).
