Poio Interlinear Editor

The Poio Interlinear Editor (Poio ILE) will be the annotation GUI of the next major release of Poio. It supports linguists working on language data (for example in language documentation projects) to add morpho-syntactic annotations to their data. Right now it only supports Elan's .eaf file format. You can open an .eaf file, add a morpheme and a gloss tier to your transcribed data and save the file. That's it. Check out the screen video to see it in action.
