Question

Using praat executable, I can write TextGrid Interval in a text file by clicking on To TextGrid (vuv) button in the right panel in the following image. I’m using To TextGrid (vuv)... 0.02 0.01 code to in the praat script but getting “Command To TextGrid (vuv)..." not available for current selection error.

Am I missing something?

Can It be possible to do so using praat script at all?

This may help.

directory$ = "./"
list = Create Strings as file list... list 'directory$'*.wav
numberOfFiles = Get number of strings
if !numberOfFiles
       exit There are no sound files in the folder!
endif

for current_file from 1 to numberOfFiles
       select list
       fileName$ = Get string... current_file
       name$ = fileName$ - ".wav" - ".wav"
       sound = Read from file... 'directory$''fileName$'
       # min and max pitch
       pulses = To PointProcess (periodic, cc)... 30 400
       vuv = To TextGrid (vuv)... 0.02 0.01
       Save as text file... 'directory$''name$'.TextGrid
       plus pulses
       plus sound
       Remove
endfor
