<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hi all,</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><div>The latest versions of ELAN and FLEX are supposed to support importing and exporting between the two. In theory at least this should speed up the glossing process if it is possible to export a basic transcription with morpheme breakdown from ELAN to FLEX, then gloss it in FLEX using the automatic parser (and perhaps also add a free translation tier), before exporting back to ELAN for the final product, where one can view/listen to the original video/audio file with all the tiers. This would mean you don't have to gloss every single morpheme manually in ELAN, since the parser in FLEX is doing much of the work instead. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone have any experience with this sort of workflow? Unfortunately I am quite new to both ELAN and FLEX, and most people seem unfamiliar with using the two programs together. There is a brief description in the manuals about how to import and export files, but unfortunately the windows I get look different to the screenshots in the manual. The problem might have something to do with the ELAN tiers template I am using, or maybe there's something else I'm missing here in terms of settings. I'm also curious as to whether a different program like ANVIL might be better for what I have in mind.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I look forward to hearing any suggestions.</div></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Thanks and regards,</div>
