There's a lot of software aimed at conlangers, which I imagine represents a larger userbase than fieldworkers. Most of it isn't widely adopted, and isn't really very good. However, there's a lot of overlap in what conlangers and fieldworkers need. So *maybe* the #conlang community can help here.
TLDR in thread: Digital work in language documentation - by this we mean everything from ‘just’ transcribing to building talking dictionaries, etc - relies on an old, fragile software suite. One of the most fragile and problematic programs in this suite is SIL FLEx 1/

Die Vorschläge von Merz und der CDU sind für EU-Mitglieder rechtlich nicht zulässig.

Das hat mir die EU-Kommission unter auf eine schriftliche Frage mitgeteilt.

Mit diesem Vorstoß greifen CDU/CSU die EU frontal an. Sie verabschieden sich aus dem Verbund der pro-europäischen Parteien.

„Laut einer Umfrage der Jewish Claims Conference vom November 2023,[…] haben in Deutschland zwölf Prozent der Befragten zwischen 18 und 29 Jahren noch nie etwas von den Begriffen Holocaust und Shoah gehört,40 Prozent wissen nicht, dass während der NS-Zeit sechs Millionen Juden ermordet worden sind.“
Die Forderung nach einem Schlussstrich habe es immer gegeben, sagt Aigner. „Aber der Ruf wird lauter u unverschämter.“ Sie kritisiert die AfD-Kandidatin. „Wer waren denn mit die ersten Internierten hier in Dachau? (...) Was für eine perfide Verhöhnung der Opfer!“
