LingView

A web interface for viewing glossed ELAN and FLEx files, optionally with time-synced video and audio. Developed at Brown University as part of the A'ingae Language Documentation initiative. The standard version of LingView is BrownCLPS/LingView.

Front-end code written with ReactJS.

Update: FLEx-with-media support

LingView now supports .flextext files as source documents. (Flextext is the format used for exporting a file from ELAN to FLEx or vice versa.) The new format can include timing information and can therefore be displayed with synced audio/video. To start using .flextext files, update LingView.

Getting Started

To begin using this site, you'll need to have NPM and Node.js installed. Download and run the installer from NodeJs.org. Then, clone this repository and run the command: npm install

This will install all the node modules required by our program.

The first time you use the site, and after each time you make changes, you'll need to rebuild the LingView site. To do so, type the command npm run quick-build in the repository's root directory.

To view the website in your browser, open the index.html file.
