EthoLog is a tool that aids in the transcription and timing of behavior observation sessions--experimental or naturalistic, from video/audio tapes or registering real time. It was created with Visual Basic and runs on Windows (3.x/9x). The user types the key codes for the predefined behavioral categories, and EthoLog registers their sequence and timing and saves the resulting data in ASCII output files. A sequential analysis matrix can be generated from the sequential data. The output files may be edited, converted to plain text files for printing, or exported to a spreadsheet program, such as MS Excel, for further analyses.
EthoLog是一种有助于对行为观察环节进行转录和计时的工具——无论是实验性的还是自然主义的观察，观察素材可以来自录像带/录音带，也可以实时记录。它是用Visual Basic创建的，运行于Windows（3.x/9x）系统。用户输入预定义行为类别的键码，EthoLog会记录其顺序和时间，并将结果数据保存为ASCII输出文件。可以从顺序数据生成顺序分析矩阵。输出文件可以编辑，转换为纯文本文件进行打印，或导出到电子表格程序（如MS Excel）进行进一步分析。
