online transcript browser

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,

    Spencer Sugarman has built a new way of opening and playing back  
CHILDES and TalkBank interactions over the web direct from your  
browser.  The only catch is that, to play back the media, your browser  
has to be Firefox and you have to have JavaScript enabled.  However,  
if you can use Firefox on a broadband connection, then I think you  
will find this facility really great.  To try it out, just go to http://childes.psy.cmu.edu 
  and click on the second link on the right called Browser Access.   
The browser plug-in will start up and you will get instructions on how  
to proceed.  On the left you will see some navigation folders.  Let's  
say you pick Biling, then YipMatthews, then AliciaEng and then any one  
of the transcripts.  Once the transcript opens up, just double click  
on a line and the video will play in sync.  The system will scroll  
through the transcript and turn pages as you go.
     I really like this way of accessing and browsing the  
interactions.  We are also developing a system within this facility  
for commenting on the interactions.  More about that later.

Best wishes and comments invited,

-- Brian MacWhinney
