Concordancing the videos

Steps

1. In WordSmith's main Controller, load up the sounds tag file (you have a copy with your download)

 

tag_file_loading

2. Using Concord, choose your texts. Here I have selected several English transcripts each ending .en_srt. To choose the English language version I had to widen the file-choosing window a bit.

 

choosing_texts_too_narrow

so as to see which language I was choosing, English or Hebrew in this case.

 

choosing_texts_widening

Several transcripts chosen:

chosen_several_texts

3. Run a concordance. You should see timings in the column headed Tag. If you haven't you probably forgot to load up the srt_video.tag file first.

 

Playing the video

Double-click one of the lines in the Tag column and the speaker should play the context including the words of the line.

 

double_click_tag_column

In this case, the speaker reports what happened when a student named Jihae came to him.
