ELAN offers the possibility to open wave files (or a part of them) in Praat^[1]. To achieve this, follow the steps below:

If desired, make a selection first (See Section 5.7)
Right click in the waveform viewer
Choose Open file in Praat or Open selection in Praat
If you haven’t specified the location of the Praat and Sendpraat^[2] program yet, you will have to locate them now in the file dialog
The Praat program containing the wave file appears

	Note
	Make sure you are using a recent version of Praat (higher than 4.0.5), otherwise this feature will not work.

Note for advanced users: compiling SendPraat on Linux

Make sure a C compiler (like gcc) is installed.
You will also need the X11 or Xorg development packages (they can be found in a package called xorg-x11-devel or something likewise)
Replace if0 with if1 in sendpraat.c, as described on http://www.fon.hum.uva.nl/praat/sendpraat.html
Link the executable with the X11 libraries when you compile Sendpraat:
cc -o sendpraat sendpraat.c -L /usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
