ELAN is free (<a href="https://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/" class="">https://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/</a>) and generates xml files that are open source. It points to the media files, so they can be stored separately from transcription/annotation files. It has a transcription mode that works ok for me. The annotation tool is nice in that it can go on forever and you can re-arrange things depending on your needs at the moment. It has powerful search functions that I don’t fully know how to use. There is a pretty comprehensive instruction manual and if you know any linguist working on an endangered language, they probably have experience with it, too. ELAN can also be used to output DVD/video subtitles, although I haven’t done that yet. ELAN works on Mac/PC/Linux.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">ELAN is designed for close transcription and annotation of audio and video files, so if you are doing that, I would recommend it. I found “Simple ELAN” pretty much useless, so don’t bother with that.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-Alex<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 12 Dec, 2018, at 13:28, Kelly McCormick <<a href="mailto:kelly.mccorm@gmail.com" class="">kelly.mccorm@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class=""><div dir="auto" class="">+1 ELAN has worked well for transcription&gesture coding with all manner of export formats for time analysis etc.</div></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">KMc</div><div class=""><br class=""><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="">On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 10:06 AM Teruko Vida Mitsuhara <<a href="mailto:tmitsuhara@ucla.edu" class="">tmitsuhara@ucla.edu</a>> wrote:<br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="m_-6323009648347862672gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">I've used ELAN for all my multilingual audio and video data.
