Spoken ISO/TEI convertor
========================

This document explains how to convert media-aligned texts in ISO/TEI format to Tsakorpus JSON. See general information about source convertors and their configuration files :doc:`here </src_convertors>`.

Convertor: ``/src_convertors/iso_tei_hamburg2json.py``.

Spoken ISO/TEI format
---------------------

TEI_ is a format for annotating texts. *ISO/TEI for spoken language* is a subset of TEI that describes how spoken language data can be encoded in TEI. Despite formalizing some aspects, both TEI in general and spoken ISO/TEI allow for too much variation: same data can be encoded in thousands different ways. This is why it is impossible to create a convertor that could work with *any* spoken ISO/TEI data. This convertor can work with a `specific version of spoken ISO/TEI <https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W19-0310.pdf>`_ used in the INEL_ project.
