EafToTextGrid

Converts ELAN .eaf files to Praat .TextGrid files

ELAN tiers are converted directly to Praat tiers as-is.

Tiers have the same names, unless the ELAN tier has the ‘Participant’ attribute set in which case, the resulting TextGrid tier will be named after the participant

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=false Whether to use text conventions for comment, noise, lexical, and pronounce annotations
--ignoreBlankAnnotations=true Whether to skip annotations with no label, or process them
--minimumTurnPauseLength=0.0 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.

Serializing to “Praat TextGrid” text/praat-textgrid

Command-line configuration parameters for serialization:
--commentLayer=Layer Commentary
--noiseLayer=Layer Noise annotations
--lexicalLayer=Layer Lexical tags
--pronounceLayer=Layer Manual pronunciation tags
--renameParticipantsMatching=String A regular expression identifying participants that should be renamed using renameParticipantsTo - e.g. S([0-9])
--renameParticipantsTo=String A pattern specifying how participants identified by renameParticipantsTo should be renamed - may contain capturing group referencs like $1, or ${id}/${filename} for the filename without/with extension - e.g. ${id}-$1
--allowPeerOverlap=false Allows TextGrids with, for example, multiple segment tiers, if the underlying annotations are invalid and have overlapping segments.
--utteranceThreshold=0.5 Minimum inter-word pause to trigger an utterance boundary, when no utterance layer is mapped. 0 means ‘do not infer utterance boundaries’.
--useConventions=false 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
--includeMetaData=false Whether to include transcript attributes as one-annotation tiers or ignore them
