[Xerte] Re: transcript buttion for audio onGraphics andSound pagetype?

[Ron Mitchell]

Gonna get on with some other stuff now but thinking more about this I quite
liked the idea of being able to change the button label as suggested by Adam
as it can provide alternative use to just a transcript e.g. image
info/copyright info etc Also then realised there needed to be a few more
catches so...

 

1. Label is now changeable via optional property but obviously can't be too
long

2. If full screen image option is selected transcript is hidden - no room to
show it

3. If actual size image option is selected and image is too big to allow
space for transcript then transcript is hidden

 

Example here: http://mitchellmedia.co.uk/xerte/textGraphicsTranscript/

Download revised version here:

pt.zip

 

Again only the xwd and textGraphics.rlm that has changed.

Noticed a slight error with that previous attachment if the magnifier
optional property was added (it didn't show) and obviously doesn't exist on
the video page. This is fixed in this version.

 

Julian - I used your menuBug attachment as the starting point for this so
it's only the .xwd and textGraphics.rlm that's changed.

It can. Someone will have to code it.

 

In the meantime, you can make a video from the sound file you have, and add
an image then use it in the vdeo page where the transcript functionality is
already there.

 

I think the messages are coming back in a funny order.

Sorry Julian - not following the connection for your last post. 

 

I'm just wondering if a transcript button can be set up for the media player
when I create a sound file in the Graphics and Sound pagetype.

Yes, you can easily make the video in Windows Movie Maker.

 

Start a new project, import a sound, import a picture and stretch it across
the timeline and output the video. Most likely that will give you a .wmv, so
you'll need to convert it to flv format. You could add several pictures if
appropriate,

Sounds like a sensible idea. My only suggestion would to be to see if the
label of the 'transcripts' button could be changed by the creator. For
example, in some cases it is more appropriate to add 'notes' or something
similar (rather than a transcript) to a video (graphics/sound).

pagetype?

 

Hi - I am working with XOT templates and have been working on the Graphics
and Sound pagetype for Media. Recently, Julian was able to get the
transcript button working for the Video page type and now I wonder whether
it would be possible to have a transcript button option for the Graphics and
Sound pagetype. Please see images for reference. The reason I think this
would be valuable is that the space taken up by my transcript in the text
entry location could be used for task instructions and, for example,
reflection questions for the student as they listen. Then, if needed, they
could click on the transcript. As it is, having the transcript so visible
might lead some students to just read it anyway without first trying to
listen.

 

What thinks?

 

Oh, thanks for sorting out the video transcript button, Julian. Much
appreciated.

 

Andy
