Raven Lite

What Raven Lite is

Raven Lite is software for recording, saving, and examining sounds through waveform and spectrogram views. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and can open WAV, AIF, MP3, and FLAC files with any number of audio channels. Users can combine waveform, spectrogram, spectrogram slice, and selection spectrum views, make time-frequency selections, inspect measurements in a table, and add their own annotations. Tables can be saved as text; signal views and sound windows can be exported as graphics or copied to the clipboard. Paged sound windows support navigation through recordings of any length, while auto-paging supports visual review faster than real time. Raven Lite is intended for students, educators, and hobbyists, including people learning about sounds, recognizing birdsong, or teaching music. The demo runs for 10 minutes at a time; a free serial number enables uninterrupted use. Installation requires administrator privileges. The maker provides a Knowledge Base and a support request form.
