Hello and welcome to a brief overview of the latest features of the Docsoft transcript
editor.Docsoft produced the transcript editor so this is the latest iteration, but I just
wanted to give you guys a brief overview of what's here. First off there is a few more
toolbar items and then there is this really cool color graph bar that runs down the middle
of the screen.Now the way that our engine outputs transcripts,each utterance and word
has a confidence level, and we kind of take an average of those confidence levels and
give you some type of feedback here, so as an example here at 25 second as mark, we found
a word and the engine was fairly confident so it gave it a high conference rating.Green
is high with a thick bar, a red line is very low and every thing in the middle is kind
of different measures of that and this is on a scale of basically one to a hundred is
how we normalized it out.So what this gives you the ability to do is to quickly glance
through the transcript and get an idea of how the quality is throughout the entire transcript
and you know what areas you need to work on and what areas are fairly decent that you
shouldn't have a lot of changes to.And of course as you edit that,that's going to improve
that.The next feature I want to talk to you about is the ability to clean up the transcripts
as you can see in this example that the utterance lengths vary greatly from one word or two
characters all the way up to multiple words and even multiple lines.Now this is how the
engine gives us back the transcript but we've decided and you know, our customers requested
the ability to clean this up so if you go up here to tools,format utterances to set
the upper limit of number of characters per line to say something like 50 set the increase
all utterances up to 40,. What this'll do is it'll make sure that no utterances beyond
50 characters long but will make sure that no utterance is less than 50 less than 40
characters.So we select okay. Take second to process and now we have a a better looking
transcript.This is also easier to edit, and we highly encourage people to do that to do
this in the beginning and then they can reformat it later but if you get something narrow enough
that it's easy to glance through as you go through you have to move around a whole bunch
it makes it longer, but it's less you know work to edit horizontally Next we've modified
the way the transcript editor works, and whenever you heard a word and saw a word that wasn't
correct. You would stop the transcript editor by pressing enter,make your change and then
press enter again to continue playing.well that ability is still there the secondary
way to do this now is just to tell it to start playing You can see the cursor is moving like
it did previously, but it's also grayed now if you want to make an edit. You just start
typing, or you can hit the back arrow and you can now browse around and make edits as
it continues to play and then I can hit control Y and it'll sync back up to where I was where
the videos playing at then I can quickly jump out again and even go ahead or behind. This
allows for a user to continue to listen and to edit at the same time one of the methods
I found to speed of transcription is to actually slow the play back down to, you know 75% 60%
depending on how many but the error rate is which I can determine by the color of the
bar over here and then just have it playback. And if it's good enough I can type fast enough
and continue to keep up with what's playing that I don't have to necessary stop the playback
yes, you lose a little bit of time from having to slow the play back down, but you gain it
back by not having to stop back up, rewind and do all that work that you used to have
to do before. So that's a new huge feature that we've added to the transcript editor
next another feature we've had a lot of requests for is the spell check feature. As you notice
here we still have the underlines that which basically is the confidence threshold level
thats still there,it hasn't gone away and you can still modify that through the settings
like you can before but if you notice that it looks like it would in Word has a squiggly
red underline that the word is not recognized. You have several options one. You can right-click
on the word, and it gives you possible options down here at the bottom to replace it with
and you can choose one of those and go on the other option is. You can come up to tools
and click on spell check and it will spellcheck the entire document to bring this over here.
So and this works just like a normal spell checker, you can go through ignore add words
and currently there are no suggestions for what is say ignore. And we can say change
and change and when were done done!Alright the next thing I want to talk to you about
is the find and find and replace feature Now find was in the previous versions, so we've
added the replace and some bookmarking features with the find you hit control F and you're
given the option of typing in your phrase. So let's look for student, and we say a find
next and it found student are there any more nope, that's it.One feature we've noticed
with the old transcript editor is sometimes it becomes easier just to retype the entire
transcript and not worry about timecodes, unfortunately the old version you couldn't
do that with this version you can one of the things we noticed that the previous version
of the transcript editor was that it was easier to just type out the transcript as opposed
to use the tool to correct the transcript so we've provided this and try to fix this
in several ways one of them is the ability, you know to continue playing of the media
while you do your edits another option is the ability to remove all the utterances.
Just like this, you can go to edit remove all utterances. Yes, I would like to remove
all the utterances and if you notice it still has the time code here now in this mode. It
keeps the old transcript the one that we just removed all the utterances on in the memory
and as you type it'll try to match up different words that you type versus words that it finds
in the old transcript with the correct time codes and tries to sync all that together
and as you continue to type it'll update the words at the time stamps as you go.So in theory,
by the time you're done free forming the transcript you don't have to worry about the time codes.
They are automatically there for you, so if I was start typing and notice as I type it's
actually changing the time code of words and it will continue to do that all the way through.
That'll give you an idea we can go back here and tell it to rebuild estimates it'll go
ahead to recompute that overall it should give you a better a trained document.Finally
you could use this to remove all the utterances again. And if you already have a corrected
transcript, you just don't have the timing codes you can import that corrected transcript
into our transcript editor and it will sync it up for you. So if we go to tools, synchronize
correct text and I've already corrected the transcript and I have a exported out a text
file, and were just going to take this corrected transcript and open it in here and it shows
you with the corrected transcript looks like and so you make even make sure that you are
importing the right thing and you click finish, and now the transcript is perfect and the
time code should be right on.The next thing to talk to you about is bookmarks. This is
something new that we've added in and basically if you come over here to where the confidence
bar is and you click on different utterances,you create this bar or you know segments and you
can come in here and say you click on the loop. And you have sync so you click on the
loop and then click play just the things that are marked over and over again. So this provides
the ability to specify region of text or regions of text and have it just loop over and over
that region so you can edit it appropriately and you can listen to them multiple times
without having to do a lot of key strokes to you know specify this now to be able to
play the rest of the transcript you have to go back up here and say,you know turn that
off and then one of these delete all bookmarks will remove all bookmarks of the page. Again
