    ELAN is computer software, a professional tool to manually and semi-automatically annotate and transcribe audio or video recordings.[2] It has a tier-based data model that supports multi-level, multi-participant annotation of time-based media. It is applied in humanities and social sciences research (language documentation, sign language and gesture research) for the purpose of documentation and of qualitative and quantitative analysis.[3] It is distributed as free and open source software under the GNU General Public License, version 3.

    ELAN is a well established professional-grade software and is widely used in academia.[4][5][6] It has been well received in several academic disciplines, for example, in psychology, medicine, psychiatry, education, and behavioral studies, on topics such as human computer interaction,[7] sign language and conversation analysis,[8][9][10] group interactions,[11] music therapy,[12] bilingualism and child language acquisition,[13] analysis of non-verbal communication and gesture analysis,[14] and animal behavior.[15]

    Several third-party tools have been developed to enrich and analyse ELAN data and corpora.[16][17][18][19]

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    ELAN is developed by the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. The first version was released around the year 2000 under the name EAT, Eudico Annotation Tool. It was renamed to ELAN in 2002. Since then, two to three new versions are released each year. It is developed in the programming language Java with interfaces to platform native media frameworks developed in C, C++, and Objective-C.
