TextGridToEaf

Converts Praat .TextGrid files to ELAN .eaf files

Praat tiers are converted directly to ELAN tiers as-is, except for point tiers which are not supported by ELAN.

Deserializing from “Praat TextGrid” text/praat-textgrid

Command-line configuration parameters for deserialization:
--commentLayer=Layer Commentary
--noiseLayer=Layer Noise annotations
--lexicalLayer=Layer Lexical tags
--pronounceLayer=Layer Manual pronunciation tags
--renameShortNumericSpeakers=Boolean Short speaker names like ‘S1’ should be prefixed with the transcript name during import
--allowPeerOverlap=Boolean Allows TextGrids with, for example, multiple segment tiers, if the underlying annotations are invalid and have overlapping segments.
--utteranceThreshold=Double Minimum inter-word pause to trigger an utterance boundary, when no utterance layer is mapped. 0 means ‘do not infer utterance boundaries’.
--useConventions=Boolean Whether to use text conventions for comment, noise, lexical, and pronounce annotations
--ignoreLabels=String Regular expression for annotation to ignore, e.g. <p:> to ignore MAUS pauses

Serializing to “ELAN EAF Transcript” text/x-eaf+xml

Command-line configuration parameters for serialization:
--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.
