We're working to create a corpus of annotated videos in A'ingae, which is a language isolate spoken in Ecuador and Columbia. These will be presented in an online website with time-aligned glossing, similar to the IATH ELAN Text-Sync Tool. Some initial code was borrowed from the ETST project linked above, but we've re-written the code in ReactJS. We're also working on an offline mobile version that can be used by community members who may not have consistent internet access.

Tech stack:

• ReactJS - for UI design and client-side scripting, most of the logic is written in JSX files.
• Babel - compiles JSX to browser-readable JS.
• CouchDB - database storage for JSON documents. This is working but we're still testing whether or not it will be useful.
• Node.JS - for backend preprocessing of the ELAN and FLEx files.
• HTML/CSS - front-end dev.
