MuTra Homepage - a Multimodal Transcription tool

The homepage is currently under construction,
but so far a download link for MuTra v0.1 is available here: MuTra-0.1.zip

Instructions for use:

Edit config.bat to set up the path to Qt

If the audio-playback is not fluent, increase PA_MIN_LATENCY_MSEC

Release Notes v0.1

	Mutra accepts Stereo and Mono files in Wave or NIST-Sphere format
	If 2 audio files are used, the sampling frequency must be the same.

REQUIREMENTS

	Trolltech Qt 3.3.3
	Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Serivce Pack 6
	Windows XP

	( the code has not been tested in Linux recently but it should compile with minor modifications)

BUILDING Mutra

	start compile_gui.bat
	start compile_server.bat

USING Mutra

	1. start Mutra.bat
	2. write the name of the WAVE or Sphere Audio files into the boxes
	3. click on LOAD CSV/WAV and select the corresponding gesture-event file
	   ( an example can be found in the example folder)
	4. If you press play, the wave-display window should appear

	The xml file can be loaded and saved at any time.

   HINTS:
	If both person of the dialogue have been recorded into the same wave file simply load two times the same wave file
	If the dialogue has no gestures, load the dummy.csv file


KNOWN BUGS

	You can only load a wave and CSV file once.

	If you attempt to play back without creating the objects the gui crashes

	After marking a section in the wave-display window the marked section may jump to another channel
        ( this has no effect on the transcription, ignore it)
