General overview The Linguist's Shoebox Integrated data management and analysis for the field linguist General overview For most linguists and anthropologists, managing data on the computer is time-consuming. They collect thousands of data items when learning a language and culture.
Shoebox goes with researchers through all the stages of their field work.
Because Shoebox integrates various kinds of data and makes it quickly available, field workers can spend less time on the computer and invest more time with the people interacting and learning. The overview is displayed in a new window. When you are finished, close it. The viewer window uses somewhat more than 640 by 480 pixels of screen area. In the lower-left corner, there are four arrows that you can click to select images, a progress indicator, and an X that you can click to close the window.
