Transcription and Annotation Tools

The guys from EXMARaLDA basically are popular for their development of EXMARaLDA (Amazing, isn’t it?). EXMARaLDA is “a system of concepts, data formats and tools for the computer assisted transcription and annotation of spoken language, and for the construction and analysis of spoken language corpora.” Today, we stumbled upon their Linguistic Annotation Wiki. Within, you can find an excellent overview on Transcription and Annotation Tools. We are trying to add these tools in our SoSciSo database. We would like to thank the wiki owners for copying their content, brazenly and lazily.

Transcription software Folker

Today, when I came back to my seat in the library my neighbour was not at her place and I could take a look on her laptop display (I have to admit, that it really was an accidental gaze and I wouldn’t like to be pigeonholed together with Zuckerberg, Apple & Co.). I could read Folker and transcription. Didn’t knew that. I fired upGoogleDuckDuckGo and got to the site of the Archiv für gesprochenes Deutsch (Archive for spoken German) in Mannheim. Folker was developed in line with the GAT2 conventions (GAT2: Gesprächsanalytisches Transkriptionssystem/conversation analysis transcription system). It was written by an ‘old fellow’, developer of EXMARaLDA, Thomas Schmidt.

The program is freely available, you only have to registrate. It looks tidy, not oversized and suitable for transcription purposes. Eventually we will have more news on Folker at this lieu.
