No option to import Praat textfile

Posted by flipmann at 2008-01-30 21:48  

Hello,<br><br>We've updated to ELAN 3.3.0 on our Mac OS X Leopard machines in order to be able to pull in Praat text files.&nbsp; However, the import drop down menu does not allow us this option.&nbsp; Is there something we need to do first to enable this option?<br><br>Thank you<br>

Do you have a document opened? In contrast to import of Toolbox or Transcriber etc. files, where always a new document is created, the Praat import adds tiers to an existing, open document.
So, if you create a new document picking the right audio file, you should be able to choose File -> Import -> Praat TextGrid File... and browse to the Praat file corresponding to the audio file.

Yes, we did have a file open, and video media imported, but we discovered that we had it in the wrong format.&nbsp; It was in a .mov format, but when we translated it to .mp4, we were able to import the Praat TextGrid and use all of the annotation functions.&nbsp; Thank you for your help.<br>
