\title{ Powerspectrum }
\description{
Compute the powerspectrum of the input signal.
Basically output a power spectrogram using a Hamming window.
}
\usage{
powspec(x, sr = 8000, wintime = 0.025, steptime = 0.01, dither = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
  \item{x}{ Vector of samples. }
  \item{sr}{ Sampling rate of the signal. }
  \item{wintime}{ Window length in sec. }
  \item{steptime}{ Step between successive windows in sec. }
  \item{dither}{ Add offset to spectrum as if dither noise. }
}
\value{
Matrix, where each column represents a power spectrum for a given frame
and each row represents a frequency.
