Can elan export to limsi labels?

Posted by mcarew at 2011-06-10 01:36  

I would like to create a set of mp3 exports from an elan transcribed file. They are songs, interspersed with conversation, annotated accordingly. I know that Transcriber will export to limsi labels, which then can be imported by audacity, enabling quick chunking>exporting according to timecode information in the labels - but I don't use Transcriber and would prefer to stick with Elan throughout my workflow if possible.
Thanks, Marg Carew

I'm not familiar with the limsi format, but to transfer annotations/labels to Audacity you can do the following:

- File->Export As->Tab-delimited Text...
- Select one tier in the list
- In the options panel select the option "Exclude tier names from output" (deselect the other options)
- Select Begin Time and End Time in the time column section and select the format ss.msec

The exported text file can then be imported in Audacity.
