User Options

Many options are centrally configured by the administrator in the settings.json file of the web application.

Some options can additionally be configured by the user. These options are remembered locally for the computer and browser the user is currently working with.

General

Configure the following general options here

Silence Detection

Silence is visualized in the text area.

A gap between words is only interpreted as silence if it is longer than the amount of time configured in 'Duration for silence detection'.

A gap between words is only interpreted as silence if it contains audio with a volume level higher than the fraction configured in 'Level for Silence Detection', e.g. 0,10 means 10%.

Note:

Detected silence is not mandatorily equal to an audio level of 0.
Silence detection may in some cases not identify all silent (or not silent) passages correctly (for performance reasons it is only analyzing some samples of the audio material)

Prelisten Duration

Some prelistening functionalities play only the beginning and/or the end of a piece of audio, e.g. "Play inside" or "Play outside".

The duration that is played is configured by 'Prelisten duration'.

Automatic Paragraphs

Large text blocks are automatically broken down into smaller paragraphs.

A new paragraph starts not before the duration configured in 'Preferred Duration for Automatic Paragraphs' and not later than the duration configured in 'Maximum Duration for Automatic Paragraphs'.
