TypeCraft developers' Meeting, Trondheim, Late October/November 2010
The TypeCraft developers' meeting took place at the beginning of November. You probably have already noticed that a new box has appeared on your TypeCraft navigation bar. The *TypeCraft corpus --> New Corpus* special wiki page will help you to create a research corpus. Using a wiki template format it will allow you to encode metadata for different text types. Please try this out!
As usual we will first test the wiki-corpus function in TypeCraft classes. Think of the corpus wiki pages as a first step towards an integration of annotated texts with a research corpus. Often we want a repository of texts of different types, such as newspaper article, short stories, transcribed audi-material, but we only want to annotated parts of the material. Annotated part of texts should be related to the source texts. This will be possible in the near future, but first we would like your feed-back:
- How much text and what type of texts would you like to store?
- What are your ideas about the relation between annotated parts of text and source text?
- Is it feasible to work with Infoboxes to encode metadata?
At present the corpus texts that you create are visible to the general public, something that you should take into consideration when you test the new TC-wiki corpus interface.
Notice also that we added automatic transliteration of Telugu text to the system. When inspecting texts from Telugu in the TC-Text Editor you find *Phrase View translit* as one of the options on the drop-down menu of *Phrases*. Enjoy!

Short Course Description
This course gives an introduction to the use of digital methods for processing spoken and written speech. As main tools for speech analysis the Praat and Typecraft software will be used. The analysis involves transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), segmentation and annotation of speech recordings. Text material will be analyzed morphologically and words and morphemes will be annotated using several tiers of annotation. The build-up and management of small corpora and develop and understanding of standards for text analysis and their implementation is part of the pensum.
16 - 19 November 2009, Toolbox-TypeCraft workshop at the University of Ghana, Legon, Department of Linguistics. For more information go to the TCwiki page --> Technology for Linguistics.
For details about the recently held Toolbox-TypeCraft workshop, go to Toolbox-TypeCraft_Workshop_Legon_2009.
The workshop consist of a series of separate sessions focusing on computational lexicography and interlinear glossing and digital language documentation on-line.
