Re: export in SALT format?

Thank you Han, diligent as always.
I guess one could just use ELAN to transcribe using any SALT conventions that apply to utterances, then export as text as you suggest, then fill in headers and other stuff by hand... alternatively, export as CHAT and then SALT can convert from CHAT files.
Thanks again. Great software.

As you already mentioned, the alternative solution via CHAT is possible through either the export to CHAT format from ELAN or via the elan2chat command/script that has been developed by the creators of the CLAN tools.
Direct export to SALT's format under the conditions you described would be fairly straightforward. It would be nice to have some more information about the format without having to install the demo version etc. E.g. :02 seems to indicate 2 seconds; does SALT support milliseconds and which notation is used for that? What about Unicode?
