We are looking for fifteen remote digital volunteers to help us between Feb 21 – March 9, 2018. 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 5-20 hours.

– 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
