Description:Two of the most common software tools in language documentation are ELAN, for transcription, and FieldWorks Language Explorer (FLEx), for interlinearization. Many language documentarians use these tools together, and the transcribed output of ELAN is natural input to FLEx. Despite this, out of the box the two programs are not effectively interoperable. FLEx also does not allow users to display many data structures that are visible in ELAN and necessary for research purposes, such as speaker attributions. Therefore, we created Flibl [flɪbɫ]̩ , a software tool that automatically converts between the data formats used by ELAN and FLEx while keeping all ELAN information visible. This article offers a description and tutorial on the software. First, we describe our research motivations for creating Flibl, how researchers can use it and for what topics, and how the software works on the backend. Readers interested in using Flibl can download it from our stable repository at https://github.com/amaliaskilton/flibl.
