The feature to import Transcriber annotation files into ELAN works as follows:
Choose
Select the transcriber file (*.trs
) and click on
Open
If the associated sound file cannot be found, a dialog will be shown asking you to locate it. When this request is cancelled, one can choose to open the annotation file without the sound, or to stop the whole import process.
The transcriber tiers will be mapped on the ELAN equivalents:
Section becomes a independent tier and turn becomes a referring tier of section (see also the section called “Basic Information: Annotations, tiers and tier types”).
Events are embedded into the annotation text.
