<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Hello
all:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Using Transcriber I
am transcribing a Noongar recording: this sound file (call it A) is the
unedited version of another sound file (call it B) which I have already
transcribed. So it is almost the same, but with some extra material that
was edited out of file B i.e. A is a bit longer than B.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>I thought I would
make a copy of the transcription file for the sound file B, and then re-name it
(as transcription file A2) and attach it to a copy of the original longer
recording (sound file A2).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Then, I thought, I
will cleverly add in the parts of the transcription that are
missing.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>The idea was to save
myself the time and hassle cutting and pasting text from one
Transcriber transcription file to another.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Now the (new)
transcription file (A2) is attached ok to my original sound file
(copied and renamed sound file A2) but of course, when I click play, the
sections of the transcription are linked to the wrong bits of the sound
wave.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>I thought I
remembered ELAN having a sort of bulldozer function, where you could neatly
slide text along the sound wave to be attached to a later (or earlier) part of
the wave i.e. match the text up to different time values.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Would anyone know if
Transcriber has the same sort of thing? The reference guide does not seem
to mention it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=241460007-28092005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=241460007-28092005>Oh well. No panic, I
can easily go back to cut 'n paste if necessary.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
