[Xerte] Re: Transcript chunks in Media Interactions template (XOT)

Mon Mar 21 14:18:32 GMT 2011

Check out the xerte svn and you'll find chunker.rlo in templates\mediaInteractions\src. Run it - you'll have to install Xerte.

See the attached tutorial. Basically you load up a piece of media, load up, paste in or write some text. Break it into the chunks you want (if these are sentences it can split it on '.'s.)

Play the media, press space to indicate the beginning of each chunk.

It never quite got finished the way I'd like it, so use at your own risk - but it works well enough. You might still need some fine tuning.

Could I ask again about this? I would like to make Dictations and Drag
and Drop Words interactivities with the Media
Interactions template, but don't know how to break the associated
transcript up into chunks.
