ANVIL - a generic annotation tool for multimodal dialogue

Michael Kipp

ANVIL is a tool for the annotation of audiovisual material containing multimodal dialogue. Annotation takes place on freely definable, multiple layers (tracks) by inserting time-anchored elements that hold a number of typed attribute-value pairs. Higher-level elements (suprasegmental) consist of a sequence of elements. Attributes contain symbols or cross-level links to arbitrary other elements. ANVIL is highly generic (usable with different annotation schemes), platform-independent, XML-based and fitted with an intuitive graphical user interface. For project integration, ANVIL offers the import of speech transcription and export of textand table data for further statistical processing.
