As visual media spread to all domains of public and scientific life, nonverbal behavior is taking its place as an important form of communication alongside the written and spoken word. An objective and reliable method of analysis for hand movement behavior and gesture is therefore currently required in various scientific disciplines, including psychology, medicine, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and computer science. However, no adequate common methodological standards have been developed thus far. Many behavioral gesture-coding systems lack objectivity and reliability, and automated methods that register specific movement parameters often fail to show validity with regard to psychological and social functions. To address these deficits, we have combined two methods, an elaborated behavioral coding system and an annotation tool for video and audio data. The NEUROGES-ELAN system is an effective and user-friendly research tool for the analysis of hand movement behavior, including gesture, self-touch, shifts, and actions. Since its first publication in 2009 in Behavior Research Methods, the tool has been used in interdisciplinary research projects to analyze a total of 467 individuals from different cultures, including subjects with mental disease and brain damage. Partly on the basis of new insights from these studies, the system has been revised methodologically and conceptually. The article presents the revised version of the system, including a detailed study of reliability. The improved reproducibility of the revised version makes NEUROGES-ELAN a suitable system for basic empirical research into the relation between hand movement behavior and gesture and cognitive, emotional, and interactive processes and for the development of automated movement behavior recognition methods.
CLAN is currently themost general tool available for transcription, coding, and analysis.You can also download source code from github.com for OSX CLAN or Windows CLAN . Phon is design to facilitate theanalysis of phonological and phonetic data transcribed in CHAT. It isfully compatible and interoperable with CLAN.XML Utilities TalkBank also provides utilities formaintaining and serving XML versions of the database.Chatter is a cross-platform Java applicationthat performs strict validation of CHAT transcripts and also can convertCHAT to XML conforming to our XML schema. It may be helpful to review the XML Schemafor TalkBank data, along with documentation of theSchema. Interoperable ProgramsPraat is a program forphonological and phonetic analysis that complements the features ofPhon. CHAT files can be exported to and imported from Praat TextGridfiles by using the PRAAT2CHAT command in CLAN, along with an attribs.cutfile that declares the names of the various Praat tiers. The praat2chatfolder in the /examples folder in the CLAN distribution providesexamples and an explanation, as does the CLAN manual and the tutorial screencast. The Phonprogram, which is fully interoperable with CLAN, also provides completeintegration with Praat.ELAN is anopen source, full function, stable Partitur (sound score) editor that isexcellent for analysis of gesture from video and conversational overlap.Using the CHAT2ELAN and ELAN2CHAT programs in CLAN, it is possible toreformat data for complete interoperability between ELAN and CLANtogether. The elan2chat folder in the /examples folder in the CLANdistribution provides examples and an explanation, as does the CLANmanual and the tutorial screencast. EXMARaLDA is another Partitureditor that provides interesting features that available in ELAN. Files in EXMARaLDA can be converted to CHAT using the CHAT2XMAR program in CLAN>DataVyu is linkedto the Databrary system. We are currently working on developing a closerintegration of Databrary and TalkBank.QDA Coding Programs Neither CLAN nor ELAN currently provide extensivemethods for coding blocks of data, including textual data, in accord with qualitative dataanalysis (QDA) methodology. CLAN does provide methods such as headers,gems, comments, and postcodes that can be used for some aspects of QDA. However,it does not implement a general model. Popular programs for fuller QDA are:

Transana providesa subset of the features in CLAN with a nicer user interface andadditional facilities for user-defined coding. Although development ofTransana was supported by the TalkBank Project, it has not yet beenpossible for Transana developers to implement importing and exporting ofTalkBank CHAT data, although we continue to work on this level ofcompatibility. Transana is available for a modest cost for both Mac andWindows.
