File::ELAN - Parsing and manipulating ELAN files
Version 0.01
ELAN (http://tla.mpi.nl/tools/tla-tools/elan/) is a tool for creating annotations on video and audio resources. This module allows you to read and manipulate the annotation files.
use File::ELAN; my $elan = File::ELAN->read("test.eaf"); for my $annot ($elan->{annotations}{tier1}) { ... } $elan->{annotations}{newtier} = [ ... ]; $elan->write("test2.eaf");
Reads the annotations from the ELAN file into a data structure, to be found in the {annotations} hashref. annotations contains a hash of tiers, and each tier contains an array of annotations.
{annotations}
annotations
my @annotations_in_this_tier = @{$elan->{annotations}{tier_i_am_interested_in}};
Each element of @annotations_in_this_tier is a hashref which looks like this:
@annotations_in_this_tier
{ id => "a123", # Annotation ID start => 12.34, # Time value in seconds end => 23.45, value => "Hello" # Content of annotation }
After fiddling with the annotations hash, you can call write to write the information back to another ELAN file. You can create new tiers, and new annotations. You don't have to mess about with timeslots; we work all that out for you. You also don't need to give each annotation an id; one will be automatically assigned.
