Sure thing! What does the tool do right now, and where do you feel it’s missing or could use a tweak? I’m all ears for how we can make it a better fit for preserving those living, breathing languages.

Sounds like a solid plan. The annotation step is where the community really gets to shape the data, so a waveform‑based editor would let them see the exact prosody. I can imagine a thin overlay that lets a volunteer click a tone marker or add a glottal stop in real time, and the system could lock that annotation so future users see the history. Pulling in a local dialect dictionary as a plugin would give auto‑suggestions right on the spot, but we’d need to keep the interface uncluttered. Maybe just a dropdown that appears when you hover over a segment. As for the API, a REST endpoint that returns the audio file plus its current metadata and all annotation layers would let other apps—like your analysis scripts—fetch the data cleanly. And versioning each annotation set is essential; we could keep a simple JSON log that records who edited what and when. Overall, the lighter the editor, the more likely community members will use it. I’ll start sketching a design that keeps the UI minimal, maybe a few buttons for “add tone,” “add glottal stop,” and “save.” Let me know if you want to dive into any specific part.
