[v1.3.2] 17 February 2021

Stable lead time

Lead time computations are no longer sensitive to outliers. If someone forgets to complete and submit an annotation session for years, that doesn’t affect the overall lead time measurement for annotations.

Export only ground truth annotations

In some cases you might want to export only carefully-reviewed ground truth annotations so that you can import them for your next annotation project. To do this, you can now choose Export only ground truths when exporting annotations.

Enhanced workflow for Audio Transcriptions

Several improvements have been made for audio transcriptions.

Text editor

Add the transcription="true" parameter to the <TextArea> tag to provide a more helpful text editing area, letting you quickly navigate and correct annotation errors/misspellings in a transcript.

Hotkeys

Added new hotkeys to enhance the annotation workflow with audio samples:

• shift+enter to add linebreaks to a transcript
• shift+space to play or pause audio
• ctrl+b to rewind audio 1 second

Resizable audio panel

You can resize the height of the audio panel by setting the height="50" attribute in the <Audio> tag.

Scaling Time Series

Added a new fixedScale attribute to the <TimeSeries> tag. By default, the attribute is "false". This attribute controls the y-axis scale for displaying TimeSeries data:

• "true": don’t scale y axis at all, always fit for all the values on the channel
• "false": scale to fit currently displayed data

You can change this attribute both globally for TimeSeries and locally on a Channel tag.

Fixed issues

• Improved the handling of cases where “Show overlap first” and “Overlap cohort” options were both selected. If you set some portions of tasks as an overlap cohort with “Show overlap first” selected, you had to wait until this cohort was annotated. This meant annotators couldn’t proceed to label the rest of the tasks without overlaps, which could be an issue when labeling takes a long time. Now this requirement has been relaxed and all annotators can immediately start labeling non-overlapping tasks after the overlap cohort is finished.
• Fixed erroneous non-integer IDs in the completions panel.
• Fixed issue removing annotation drafts in cases where the annotation is not yet submitted.
• Fixed missing toName for TextArea in template configs.
• Fixed audio playback with <Paragraphs> on Windows.
