An App for Field Linguistics
A Free Tool for Creating and Maintaining a Shared
Database For Communities, Linguists and Language Learners










Speakers, linguists, and learners can contribute remotely to one centralized database, distributing the responsibility of documentation. |
The database is shared between researchers and the community. Everyone with permission has access to the data, ensuring that language information is not just on the computers of a few people. |
While it is easy to share data, the database is secure and encrypted. Permission settings control who can see what. |
LingSync is customizable. You decide what is important and how much detail goes into your database. |
Data is easy to tag, search, and sort by factors you can create (i.e., speaker, date, morpheme or construction type). |
It is very easy to import and export data in a variety of formats. |
Learners can participate in recording and transcribing their language. Users can easily search the database for specific words or phrases, and discover patterns on their own. |
Material can be easily converted from LingSync to language lessons on a complementary language learning app (still under development). |
LingSync is a Chrome app, which means it works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPad, and also offline. |
LingSync is free and open source. You maintain control of your data. |
LingSync learns from your data to streamline morpheme glossing. |
LingSync automatically backs up your database. Previous versions are accessible, making it easy to undo any mistakes. |
