GEM with all main and dependent tiers + Bangla transcripts

Wed Mar 1 18:16:13 UTC 2023

Ran,

	Are you using Mac or PC, which operating system? Have you tried typing the same characters in MS Word? Do they look correct in other editors? I have to be able to replicate the problem for offer a solution to you.

Leonid.

Just be prepared for a stink eye from any Germans. Similarly in Bangla the meaning gets across but the same ß breaks up into s+s.

> Interestingly, clan always breaks up these consonant clusters into their correct individual components, so it seems like there’s an understanding in the software that these clusters exist and what they’re made up of. It just fails to understand that it should keep the consonant together instead of breaking it apart.

I would say that CLAN does not change character codes that it gets from the system. The splitting must occur in the OS system. What computer and OS are you using?

Similar to when German β gets turned into ss, you can still understand the word meaning but the spelling seems off. We tried typing up the words in a word doc and copy and paste them into CLAN, but the letters still get automatically split. Is there a way we could fix this? It's ok if not - this issue does not affect VOCD anyways, so we can work with what we have.
