We have created ELAN transcripts for each post, often using creators' original captions as a base for our English translations, and adding [ID glosses using ASL Signbank](https://youtu.be/l0Vj6uFUj7khttps://youtu.be/l0Vj6uFUj7k) for individual signs as well as notes about changes to signing because of [emboxed discourse](https://x.com/jahochcam/status/1298028954788528128). The English translations are available as captions in the video and in our [ELAN transcripts (.eafs)](https://archive.mpi.nl/tla/elan). The ID glosses, which are sign-by-sign English labels to make the video data machine-readable, are only available in our ELAN transcripts (.eafs). You need to download the [ELAN program](https://archive.mpi.nl/tla/elan) to open .eafs but you can also right-click and open them as text-only files to read them in their [xml format](https://www.w3.org/standards/xml/core#:~:text=What%20is%20XML%3F,more%20suitable%20for%20Web%20use.).

Annotators for SoMe ASL are [Julie A. Hochgesang (JAH)](https://www.juliehochgesang.com/) and [Cem Barutcu (CB)](https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/linguistics/gradstudents/cb55839), both deaf and fluent in ASL.
