April 2024: Releasing ELAN-FLEx import software
In joint work with Sunny Ananthanarayan (U Washington), Sophie Pierson (UT Austin), and Claire Bowern (Yale), I’ve released Flibl, a new software tool that improves import/export of texts between ELAN and the database software FieldWorks Language Explorer or FLEx. Visit our OSF repository to download the tool, or read our manuscript about it here (under review).
Claire, Sunny, Sophie and I have also submitted another manuscript that explores the limitations of FLEx and how those limitations affect research and community-facing work in language documentation. This is available as a preprint too.
