Want to build a personal corpus yourself?

We presented the Everything Everywhere All in One (EEAIO) model at the Symposium for Advancing Corpus-based Interpreting Studies (ACIS 2025) on June 10. We are happy to see that the philosophy and solution of EEAIO resonate with many students, professionals, and educators in the interpreting community.

In the presentation, we reviewed the limitations of common language asset management practices observed in interpreters and interpreting students, and showcased an interpreter-centered solution that allows every interpreter to build a free, local, and personalized corpus.

Built around the note-taking app Obsidian and the local Speech-to-Text tool Memo, EEAIO enables every interpreter to collect, connect and grow their wealth of multi-model linguistic assets and track their life-long learning journey with ease and style.

Here are the resources shown in the presentation, and a step-by-step guide to start building your corpus. Have fun!

All you need is..

Download Obsidian to start building your personal corpus.

Download this demo folder, unzip it, and open the whole folder as an Obsidian vault. Here is a step by step guide on how to do that.

Download Memo, and load a local speech-to-text model for offline transcription. See tutorial here.

If you have any question, please reach out to us (Rachel or Zidian) on all platform. We are happy to share more or schedule a workshop with you and/or your TI students (actually we prefer the latter, live workshop usually worked better in our experience)！

Sincerely,
Rachel
