A spectrogram gives a running display of a sound signal as it occurs in real time; a spectrum, on the other hand, gives us a snapshot of the sound at a specific point in time. A spectrum can enable you to see, for example, the energy distribution over the different frequencies of a single vowel, like [i].

What does the spectrogram tell you?
A spectrogram is a visual way of representing the signal strength, or “loudness”, of a signal over time at various frequencies present in a particular waveform. Not only can one see whether there is more or less energy at, for example, 2 Hz vs 10 Hz, but one can also see how energy levels vary over time.
What is the difference between spectrogram and spectrograph?
Spectrograph. A SOUND ANALYSER with graphic output showing the SPECTRUM or frequency content of a sound and its variation in time. It is commonly used for speech analysis, and is sometimes called a sonagraph or visible speech. The graphic output is called a spectrogram or sonagram.
What is spectrum in audio signal?
A sound spectrum is a representation of a sound – usually a short sample of a sound – in terms of the amount of vibration at each individual frequency. It is usually presented as a graph of either power or pressure as a function of frequency.
What is the difference between waveform and spectrum graph?
Spectral data is displayed in the frequency domain while waveform data is in the time domain. Spectral information is obtained by applying a Fourier transform to waveform data; this converts the data to show that amplitude and phase of the vibration at different frequencies.
