ELAN is computer software, a professional tool to manually and semi-automatically annotate and transcribe audio or video recordings.[2] It has a tier-based data model that supports multi-level, multi-participant annotation of time-based media. It is applied in humanities and social sciences research (language documentation, sign language and gesture research) for the purpose of documentation and of qualitative and quantitative analysis.[3] It is distributed as free and open source software under the GNU General Public License, version 3.
ELAN is a well established professional-grade software and is widely used in academia.[4][5][6] It has been well received in several academic disciplines, for example, in psychology, medicine, psychiatry, education, and behavioral studies, on topics such as human computer interaction,[7] sign language and conversation analysis,[8][9][10] group interactions,[11] music therapy,[12] bilingualism and child language acquisition,[13] analysis of non-verbal communication and gesture analysis,[14] and animal behavior.[15]
Several third-party tools have been developed to enrich and analyse ELAN data and corpora.[16][17][18][19]
