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, this fork is a generalization of the A'ingae-specific website here.
Front-end code written with ReactJS.
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.
To begin using this site, you'll need to have NPM and Node.js installed. Details can be found on the NPM website. Then, clone this repository and run the command:
npm install
This will install all the node modules required by our program. After making changes to a file, you'll need to bundle the code with Webpack. To do so, simply type the command "webpack" in the repository's root directory.
To view the website in Chrome or any other browser:
- Run
webpack. - Open
index.html.
