CLAN: Text Extraction

[Snigdha Khanna]

Hello!

I am trying to extract "clean" text from annotated transcripts that I have. Is there any way to use CLAN to export a txt file format, or a simpler method to remove annotations from the transcripts, so that I can parse it using NLP?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Snigdha

CLAN’s FLO program does most of this. Alternatively, you could grab all the <w> tags from the XML version of the database.

What kind of NLP do you want to use? You could apply Universal Dependencies directly.

I want to remove all annotations like the gestures and errors. Hence, I would like to use the txt format of just the transcribed text without annotations.

Any idea how to do that?

Command flo +ca +t* *.cha should work.
