CHILDES Transcript Browser

To analyze:

CLAN commands may be entered in the text box below Command line: (on left, below the directory listing), and run entirely in the browser. File names can be entered manually, or by pressing the [+] symbol next to the file name. Displayed next to Command line: is your current working directory.

To browse:

Use the left menu to navigate through the CHILDES corpora. Click once on the folder you want to explore, and it will expand to show any available subfolders and transcripts. Once you have found the transcript you want to review, click its filename. Your browser will load the transcript in this space and any associated media below the navigation.

Next to each transcript name is an icon displaying whether the file has linked audio , video , or no media .

Transcripts with media:

You can control the media in two ways:

1. Use the controls that display below the media to play, pause, and rewind/fast forward.
2. Use mouse and keyboard shortcuts:
   • Play from selected line until end of media: double click the line at which you want to begin playback.
   • Play the selected line only: click the line once, then press p.
   • Pause playback: while the media is playing, press s.
   • Start playback: while the media is stopped, press s.

Line numbers:

Line numbers are displayed by default. They can be toggled on or off by selecting the appropriate button, and then clicking "Set options".

Dependent tiers:

Codes, comments, events, and descriptions of interest to the researcher are often typed below the main tier. If a file contains such dependent tiers, a listing of these tiers will display below the navigation on the left. For legibility, the user has the option of only displaying select tiers. To hide a tier, deselect its checkbox, and then click "Set options".
