Highlighting function

Yes we’ve been discussing this functionality. Our current idea is to have something that appears a little like markup in word, where passages can be quoted and then users can add comments in a collapsible panel that appears on the right of the transcription pane. This would replace the separate “Annotate” tab which we could replace with an “Analyze” tab (TBC).

Excuse my scrawling:

I can see how easy reference to highlighted/ bookmarked passages would be helpful. Two possibilities for doing this:

  • There could be a link somewhere, perhaps in a new “Summary” section on the metadata panel, to view all highlighted sections.
  • Or, since we are are planning on having a reading mode to view the whole transcript at once, perhaps that could appear as an option there.

Or by bookmarking do you mean something more like a tagging system, for particular items/ images? Interested to hear any ideas you have about the ideal user experience as we begin to think about this. There are lots of different ways to go about it.
