Set deadline for your transcription

Do you create/edit the transcription yourself or have a team of annotators? SpokenData has a new handy feature that might help you finish the transcription process in time. From now on, you can select the deadline for each processed recording. Just click on the menu button and select the Set deadline item.

Then, you can order your recordings by the deadline value and see the recordings which should be finished soon. The deadline information can appear in 3 different colors:

• red: deadline has already passed
• orange: deadline will pass within 24 hours
• black: deadline will pass in more than 24 hours

The deadline can always be changed or removed. These feature can also help your annotators who will see how much time they have left to complete their jobs.

Interactive waveform with Outwave.js

Outwave.js is a handy library that can render audio waveform in a web browser. Its development was also supported by SpokenData. Apart from that, this library has a great extension for displaying annotation segments directly on the waveform. The segments can be easily added, deleted, merged or split. By and large, we really needed such a library.

Therefore, we are happy to announce that Outwave.js was integrated into the SpokenData subtitles editor. From now on, our users will more easily define speech or non-speech segments just by dragging the segment boundaries on the waveform with the mouse button held down.

We are certain you will benefit from the Outwave library as we do. The fastest way to test our new feature is to start the SpokenData demo and edit any recording subtitles.
