2 – Souvenir Document Window – Media Playback – Ink & Text

Section TWO introduces you to the Souvenir Document Window. It shows you how to use your notes to playback media and how to view, create and edit digital ink or text.

 

Double click on a thumbnail page to open a Document Window for "A Guided Tour."

 

Document Window

 

The Souvenir Document Window makes pinpoint audio & video playback possible.

 

Click & Play – Double click on the digital ink of "A Guided Tour" to play the associated media. Because the linked media is stored on a server, a request is made via the network to have the selected moment streamed to your computer. This may take a moment. Press "stop" in the Souvenir Media Player to end media playback.

 

Ink Segments – Notice in the Document Window how the ink has been organized into rectangular blocks. These segments are special groupings of related ink. They are created using proprietary algorithms to identify interesting entry points into a media recording based on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the notes.

Click in the "white space" of a segment’s bounding box to select it.

You can choose to display a segment with a rectangular, minimal area or no bounding box – press the F12 key to cycle through the different segment views.

Double click in another segment to play its associated media.

 

Media Timeline

 

Media Timeline – Notice above the display of the document there is the media timeline which shows the position of the ink and its segments as they relate to the timeline of the associated media recording. Segments will appear in the timeline as shaded areas. Click on them to select and highlight the corresponding segment in the document display. The media timeline is only visible when the document has been linked to media. Click on the first shaded area of the media timeline to highlight its corresponding ink segment. Click on the third segment in the document display and see which part of the timeline is highlighted.

 

Ink and Text Views – Souvenir supports both ink and text in the same document. You can toggle between three display modes: ink only, ink & text, and text only.

 

Ink & Text View– Click on the "ink & text" icon to see textual annotations displayed immediately beneath the ink with which the text is associated.

 

Text & Ink Segments

 

Text Annotation – Go to page 3 using the page navigation icons, select the third segment "Click & Play …" and click the "annotate" icon to associate text with it. A text entry window will be placed directly below the segment into which you can enter your text. Complete your text entry by hitting "enter" or leaving the text entry area. This text segment will share its timing information with its associated ink segment.

Text Only View– Click on the "text only" icon and the document display will change to a listing of all the text segments.

 

Text Only View

 

Select a text segment by clicking on a text line. Notice that the corresponding segment in the media timeline is highlighted.

 

Click & Play – Double click on a text segment to play the media.

 

Creating Text – You can create text segments that are not linked to an ink segment as follows: 1) Place the cursor at the end of a text segment, press "return" and enter text. If you press "enter" again, a new blank paragraph will be created into which you can type.

2) Select an existing text segment and click on the "insert text" icon . A new text segment will be placed above the selected segment and you can enter text into it.

 

Organizing Text – You can change the ordering of the text segments. Select a segment and use the "move up" and "move down" icons to place it in the desired location. The ordering of the text segments in the "text only" view will be saved.

 

Close the current document and save your changes (optional).
