# YAAAT: Yet Another Audio Annotation Tool

Interactive bioacoustic annotation tool for measuring vocalizations. 

Features: 
1. Changepoint Annotator, for marking temporal onset, offset, and changepoints in vocalizations. 
2. Peak Annotator, for marking dominant frequency peaks on the power spectrum.

## Getting Started

1. Click **Load Audio Directory** to select your audio files
2. Choose where to save annotations (existing directory, new directory, or default)
3. Click on the spectrogram to add annotation points
4. Click **Finish Syllable** when done with each syllable
5. Move between files using **Next/Previous** buttons
6. Annotations auto-save on file navigation or 'Finish syllable'

## Navigation & Features

- Intuitive real-time interactive visualization with zoom, pan, and keycommand + mousewheel navigation
- Visualize harmonics with adjustable multipliers and draggable bounding boxes
- JSON annotations saved per-file to minimize corruption
- Mark and track unusable files
- Adjust spectrogram resolution for accuracy comparison
- TODO: implement ranking system for annotation quality; add PSD views; inject as learning feedback mechanism
