>>The Code-A-Text MultiMedia System is a software package which was
developed
>>for the study of dialogues presented as audio, video or transcription.  It
>>is at its most powerful when the "text" contains the original audio
>>recording and a transcription enabling the investigator to simultaneously
>>"hear" and "read" their data and view their codes.  Code-A-Text was
>>designed to provide flexibility allowing the way the "text" is presented
>>for coding and analysis to evolve during the course of a project.  It is
>>possible to start a project with a series of audio "texts" (recorded
>>directly onto to your portable computer), make an initial coding of these,
>>and then transcribe (within Code-A-Text) those sections which are required
>>for further study.  Changes in the structure of the segments can be made
at
>>any time without data loss.  The openness of the "text" (which can also be
>>annotated) and three different coding methods (categorical, content and
>>numerical) means that the programme can be used for methodologies such as
>>Conversation Analysis, Narrative Analysis and Content Analysis done by
>>inspection or computer generated procedures.  These methodologies can
>>complement each other.  For instance within Code-A-Text you might use a
>>graph to identify sections of "text" in which the number of words spoken
>>per second changes rapidly then use Conversation or Narrative analyses to
>>study the text in detail.
>>
>>This seminar will introduce these features starting with digital sound
>>recording and concluding with the ways in which results can be output.  In
>>between we shall consider, all be it superficially, transcription, text
>>segmentation, manual and computer generated codes,  and a variety of
>>qualitative and quantitative methods for analysing text.

>NOTE:  Attendance at the seminar is of course free, however, there are a
>limited number of places available - please contact Ann Lewins, by email or
