We are looking for five remote digital volunteers to help us between Nov 15 – Dec 1, 2017. The task will involve annotating oral texts in Munda languages using ELAN software, a professional tool for the creation of complex annotations on video and audio resources. Previous experience with ELAN is not a requirement, but is preferred. A brief online training will be provided.

Volunteers will receive audio files and annotations already typed up in Microsoft Word. They will plug in the language data into ELAN and associate it with the correct portions of audio files. We are asking for a volunteer time commitment of 10-20 hours. This opportunity is ideal for:

• Tech-savvy students who are studying linguistics
• People who have previous experience working with ELAN
• Scholars interested in gaining experience working with endangered language recordings

Interested? Email a short cover letter and resume with the subject line “ELAN Volunteer Nov 15-Dec 1” to coordinator Anna Luisa Daigneault at annaluisa@livingtongues.org

Thanks for your interest!
