transcriber

[Nicholas Thieberger]

Hi Nora,

I am not sure I understand your first question, the time-alignment is done when you select the stretch of sound signal and type in the corresponding text. To see the times you need to look at the text file you are working with, or export from transcriber in one of the several formats it supports.

To use a phonetic font in Transcriber while still using a plain typeface for the transcript you can specify an 'event/pronounce' to have a phonetic font (in 'options/fonts/events'), which allows you to insert an event together with the transcript.

This creates something like the following (using SILDoulosIPA)
fsiu<Event desc="٠iu" type="pronounce" extent="previous"/>

All the best,

Nick
