Key Features

Efficient Recording Sessions

Pull the day’s recordings directly off your camera or audio device into organized Session folders, or record directly into SayMore for a seamless experience.

Flexible File Conversion

Easily convert media files into formats suitable for long-term access. Export your data to popular platforms like Audacity, ELAN, FLEx, Toolbox, or even YouTube for broader accessibility.

Robust Annotation Tools

Auto-segment your media, transcribe, and translate with ease. Export your annotated data to FLEx for interlinearization or further refine it in ELAN. When you’re ready, archive your project with a single click, packaging it in IMDI format for future use or submission to SIL’s RAMP application.

Alternatives

lameta is a loving spinoff of SayMore that is maintained by a consortium of academic archiving institutions. lameta runs on Mac & windows, and is receiving more updates that SayMore. However lameta is solely for metadata. It does not have SayMore's transcription or translation features. The thinking is that people can use ELAN & Simple ELAN in combination with lameta for most mainstream transcription needs.
