[Xerte] How to use transcript reader--instructions?

[jventola at verizon.net]

So that means that every stanza in the demo is actually a different "subpage" in Xerte even 
though it appears as part of a continuous document in the preview?  I will give that a try.  
Thanks all.

It is. Something you might not know is that if you preview the sound, then everytime you 
press the pause button, the current time in milliseconds is put on your clipboard. Then you 
can just paste it in where appropriate.

I think its seconds for the synch points.

Crude transcript reader example

Add page
Give it a title
Choose your MP3
add some text

then click add nested page (remember you can change these later).

Then add the text, and in milliseconds set the sync point.

add a new nested page for the next point

I think thats the right way

I haven't got any MP3s on this pc to test.

Has anyone produced instructions for using the transcript reader page? I don't see anything
in the Help file, but maybe it doesn't cover the page templates.

The demo (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/toolkits/play_560) shows stanzas of a poem
highlighed in sync with the mp3. I assume there is only one mp3 file involved because when I
use the Nottingham Templates to experiment, I see a sync button. I assume you enter the
number of seconds for the next sub page to be shown. But I'm not getting it, and I am not
sure how to proceed.

What is the workflow for the transcript reader? And are there size constraints I should bear
in mind? Should I break the reading up into different mp3 files for easier/faster performance
for the end user?

Thanks.
