Export Annotations for FieldWorks Interlinear

After you create an annotation file with segment boundaries and work with annotations, you can export the transcriptions and free translations to a file. You can import that file into the FieldWorks Language Explorer (FLEx).

  1. Click the Sessions tab.

  2. In the Sessions (left) pane, click the session.

  3. In the right pane, click the annotation file ( <name>.<type>.annotation.eaf).

    In the Annotations tab, review your transcriptions and free translations.

  4. Click Export (it is near the Segment button), and then click FLEx Interlinear Text.

    The Export Annotations for FieldWorks Interlinear dialog box appears.

It must match the vernacular writing system used in the FLEx Baseline tab.

It must match the analysis writing system used in the FLEx Free line.

    • Click Export. Click the desired folder. Click Save.

Important

  • If a segment contains more than one sentence, the Free Translation content may not appear in the correct Free lines in FLEx.

In this case, you can change segment boundaries or just manually move the Free line contents in FLEx.

    • If you changed segment boundaries:

      1. In FLEx, delete the text.

      2. Export the SayMore annotations file again.

      3. Import the new file into FLEx.

Some files may require multiple iterations of these steps.
