TEI related resources
This page provides information and resources for representing spoken language transcriptions in a TEI compliant format.
The approach implemented here is described in:
Schmidt, Thomas (2011): A TEI-based Approach to Standardising Spoken Language Transcription.
In: Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative (1). [Online text]
Example files
The EXMARaLDA Demo corpus has TEI versions of transcripts in ten different languages.
Consult the Corpus overview to download the corresponding audio and/or video files and to
view HTML presentations of the transcripts
Many further examples can be found in several of the HZSK corpora
Here are direct links to the TEI files:
Document grammars
These XML schemas, generated by ROMA, can be used to validate TEI transcriptions.
XSL Stylesheets
These stylesheets can be used to transform an EXMARaLDA Basic-Transcription to a TEI transcription and vice versa.
This stylesheet can be used to transform a FOLKER transcription following the cGAT conventions for a minimal transcript into a TEI transcription.
This stylesheet can be used to generate an HTML representation of a TEI transcription.
TEI Drop
TEI Drop is an application to produce and parse TEI ouput for different tool formats (CHAT, ELAN, EXMARaLDA, FOLKER and Transcriber) and different transcription conventions (HIAT, cGAT). It is part of the EXMARaLDA tools package, you can download the latest preview from the previews page.
