Abstract
Developing an automated annotation tool for an orthography that is no longer in use is challenging. The fact that the expertise on such orthography is quite rare will greatly affect the quality of the annotation. The targeted users that drive the User Interface design of the tool should also be carefully defined. In this paper, we describe a shift of our perspective on the functionality of an annotation tool that led us to deploy a dual function tool, i.e., a tool that on its front end serves as e-learning for Javanese characters and the annotation tool on its backend. As an e-learning tool, it supports achieving the first two cognitive learning objectives of Bloom’s taxonomy by providing a drop-down list of tuples of Javanese characters and their transliteration as labels. Learners’ engagement is enhanced by the drag and drop feature. Being run and used in a real environment, the tool has produced 15.414 valid annotated character segments
