TrsToEaf
Converts Transcriber .trs transcripts to ELAN .eaf files
ELAN does not support the same meta-data that Transcriber does, so the following meta-data is lost during conversion:
- version
- version date
- air date
- scribe
- language
- participant gender
- participant dialect
- participant accent
- participant scope
The following Transcriber annotations are not supported by ELAN, and are lost:
- phrase language annotations
- named entity annotations
The following Transcriber annotations are not directly supported by ELAN, and are converted using bracketed, inline conventions within annotation labels:
- 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 Transcriber transcript includes topic tags, these are included in the ELAN file on their own tier.
