This open access volume is designed to help students and practitioners of language documentation and description collect audio and video of naturally produced interactional speech and create intellectual access to those recordings. The text is written so it can be used as a companion to demonstration workshops or as part of a technology-focused class on language documentation. It can be used in academic or nonacademic settings. The original contribution is on suggested methods of text annotation and the archiving of source files and annotation files. We use the Computational Resource for South Asian Languages (CoRSAL) metadata schema to teach about metadata and file naming. We use the Summer Institute of Linguistics Fieldworks Language Explorer (FLEx) program to teach about annotation. We demonstrate an innovative method of glossing we call Hierarchical Interlinear Glossing to create hierarchical interlinear glossed text (HIGT).
