Manual HTML

When a text file or an (X)HTML file is available, you can add text semi-automatically with the Manual HTML mode. To use this mode, open an existing (X)HTML or text file by clicking the 'Open source' button which is on the left of the tab page. The text of the file is now displayed in the text window.

When you start synchronizing, playback the first audio event by clicking the "Play current audio event" button (F6), the audio playback will stop automatically when that audio event has been played. The first text event is already there as a NCC title. It is therefore not necessary to synchronize to that event. You can delete the unnecessary text from the text browser. You can then move to the next step: click the "Play current audio event" (F6) button to playback the second audio event.

The 'Manual HTML' tab, click the end of the text that you have listened to

The steps are given below.

Steps

• Set the cursor (with the keyboard or by clicking with the mouse) at the end of the text to be synchronized and the text before that position will be highlighted.
• Click the "Repeat current audio event" button (F5) when you need to listen to the current audio event again. The audio event will play back.
• When you are sure that the text you have selected corresponds correctly to the audio event, click the "Do Synch" (CTRL+Return) button for synchronization.

The synchronized text is now added to the XHTML window above the text window, and that text is automatically removed from the text window. Repeat these steps for each audio event. When you finish the NCC item, move to the next NCC item using the "Next NCC" (CTRL+PageDown) button in the upper right corner of the ATAU screen.

Please be aware that each time you begin synchronizing a NCC item, you must not synchronize the first audio event. Delete the text corresponding to the ToC in the text window and move on to the next audio event, otherwise the project may have serious problems that you are unable to repair.
