Language Documentation
Whether you're just beginning to record your language or continuing work that’s been passed down across generations, I offer support grounded in your community’s vision and priorities. Together, we can create audio and video recordings, transcribe and translate both new and archival materials, and develop word-by-word glosses that help make your language data useful for future teaching and learning. I also offer training in tools and workflows for collecting, organizing, and preserving recordings—so your community can build and maintain a living archive of language, stories, and cultural knowledge.
Recording & Analyzing Language
Recording & Gathering
Capture your language in action through audio and video—stories, songs, conversations, and more. We can gather new materials, work with archival recordings, and provide training so community members can confidently record and preserve language for the future.
Transcription & Translation
Turn recordings into clear, usable materials with time‑aligned transcriptions, translations, and subtitles. I am trained in a range of transcription and translation programs and can guide your community in using them to process recordings and create resources that support teaching and learning.
Word-by-Word Analysis
I can help unpack how your language works at the word and sentence level—showing the meaning and role of each word in context—always guided by your community’s goals. Together, we can turn complex linguistic details into practical, accessible guides that support the way you want to teach and learn your language.
Managing & Archiving Language Data
Managing Materials
Communities often work with many kinds of data—recordings, videos, texts, stories, and so forth. With your guidance and vision, we can organize and manage these materials for long‑term use, creating search‑friendly, easy‑to‑use collections that keep everything protected and accessible for the future.
Community Archives
An archive is a carefully organized place—digital, physical, or both—where recordings, texts, stories, and other materials are collected, preserved, and made accessible for those who need them. We can work together to build an archive that keeps your language materials safe, organized, and fully in your community’s hands—created to reflect your goals and grow with future generations.
Training
Workshops and hands‑on guidance in recording techniques, equipment use, and practical workflows for capturing language in audio and video. Training also includes using software to transcribe, analyze, and organize materials, building skills that help your community document, manage, and preserve language resources for years to come.
