TrsToText

Converts Transcriber .trs files to plain text files

The following participant meta-data is lost during conversion:

  • gender
  • dialect
  • accent
  • scope

If the –metaData command-line switch is used, then the following Transcriber meta-data will be included as a header to the file:

  • version
  • version date
  • air date
  • scribe
  • language

Otherwise, this meta-data is lost during conversion

The following Transcriber annotations are lost during conversion:

  • phrase language annotations
  • named entity annotations

The following Transcriber annotations are converted using bracketed, inline text conventions:

  • comments
  • noises
  • lexical tags
  • pronounce tags

To disable these conventions (and thus lose these annotations during conversion) use the –useConventions=false command line switch.

If the –textOnly command-line switch is used, then the output text includes only the transcribed speech, and all annotations and meta-data are lost.
