[ENC] User question -- corpus with no spelling?

[payamrahmati]

We are working on a Corpus of Persian which does not have a spelling column. We only have the frequency column, and the phonemic transcription columns which are in a CSV file. How can we run the analysis without the spelling column?

Thanks for your interest in PCT. The corpus should actually be loadable even without the spelling column -- just make sure the transcription column is labelled with the word 'Transcription' and the frequency column is read in as a 'frequency' column in PCT (see attached screenshot).

If that doesn't work, you can always create a 'fake' spelling column. This can be a completely fake column with, e.g. 'abc' for all of the words, or simply a copy of the transcription column labelled 'Spelling.'

Thank you so much for your reply! The problem was that I didn't choose Transcription as the annotation type. It's working fine now!

Best, Payam
