These pages show digital videos from two endangered-language communities, Archi in Daghestan and Nganasan on the Taimyr peninsula. The videos are annotated with transcripts and interlinear glosses, a standard practice in language documentation. The annotations are displayed within the browser using MannX technology. Currently, MannX software is available only for Firefox browser because IE7 does not implement the required Web standards.
The user interface is explained in the MannX User Guide. The user can play and replay segments of the video; switch to next or preceding segment; access a segment at random either through the video scroll bar or by clicking on a text segment; look up words in the dictionary; search for text strings or regular expressions in the current text or in the entire repository.
A different arrangement of components that is more suitable for anthropological or language learning materials is demonstrated by a recording from the Indian state of Orissa, in which a woman shaman is talking about her failed attempt to communicate with the dead.
As a technology demo, we also present an ELAN file in the browser, with no user installation required beyond the presence of a reasonably recent Flash player.
Finally, we show our utilities for creating MannX pages from Toolbox and ELAN files.
