Flex files

To import multiple FLExtext files for conversion to *.eaf, click File > Import Multiple Files As... > FLEx file.... This operation consists of 3 steps.

  1. Select the FLEx files you want to use for conversion to *.eaf. Do so by clicking the Browse... button in the dialog and choose the proper files.

  2. In the next dialog, you can define the settings to be used for importing:

    You can select whether to use the 'interlinear-text and 'paragraph' element in FLEx, import the participant information and what the smallest time-alignable element should be: 'phrase' or 'word'. Choose on what level you want to create tier types and set a duration per phrase element (required).

  3. Finally, you can choose how to save the files and in what directory to save them:

    Finally, configure how and where to save your files. You can choose to save with an .XML or .flextext extension, and you can skip files that would result in having no tiers.
