EafToCha

Converts ELAN .eaf files to CLAN CHAT transcripts

All tiers will be interpreted as transcription of participant speech. If some tiers contain other annotations, use the –ignoreTiers command line switch to exclude them from the conversion using a regular expression, e.g.: –ignoreTiers=Noise|Topic

Deserializing from “ELAN EAF Transcript” text/x-eaf+xml

Command-line configuration parameters for deserialization:
--commentLayer=Layer Commentary
--noiseLayer=Layer Noise annotations
--lexicalLayer=Layer Lexical tags
--pronounceLayer=Layer Manual pronunciation tags
--authorLayer=Layer Name of transcriber
--dateLayer=Layer Document date
--languageLayer=Layer The language of the whole transcript
--phraseLanguageLayer=Layer For tagging individual phrases with a language
--useConventions=Boolean Whether to use text conventions for comment, noise, lexical, and pronounce annotations
--ignoreBlankAnnotations=Boolean Whether to skip annotations with no label, or process them
--minimumTurnPauseLength=Double Minimum amount of time between two turns by the same speaker, with no intervening speaker, for which the inter-turn pause counts as a turn change boundary. If the pause is shorter than this, the turns are merged into one.
