Hot topics
2023: Annotate videos in the "Edit" page
The editor page of the Graphical User Interface allows annotating
manually. This interface is already offering an easy and powerful
solution to modify labels of annotations. In 2023 release 4.14, it
is possible to adjust boundaries of video annotations with a very
high precision, in a convenient window displaying a sequence of
three video frames.
SPPAS 4.2: The Edit page with an audio file,
a video file, the manual orthographic transcription
and 2 automatic annotations.
2023-2026: Cued Speech Automatic Generation
Cued speech keys generator was introduced the first time in version 3.9, August 2021.
Then, a Proof of Concept (PoC) of an augmented reality system was firstly proposed in version 4.2.
The PoC was turned into a stable version in 2023. In future works, some models based
on the analyses of CLeLfPC
will be implemented (statistical distributions analyses, machine learning, ...).

Why should you trust SPPAS?
Because...
The SPPAS software tool is reliable: the application performs the features
that the documentation described. It can tolerate the user making mistakes or using the
software in unexpected ways: in these situations, an error identifier with an error message is
displayed. Its performances are good enough for the required uses cases, under the expected
load and data volume.
SPPAS is installed on your computer: your corpus won't be transferred on
the web. No statistics, no personal data are collected.
Its ongoing maintenance by the author: fixing bugs, keeping its systems
operational, investigating failures, checking it on three platforms, modifying it for new
use cases, adding new features and last but not least adding new language resources, updating
the documentation and the website.
SPPAS is an open source package.
You can edit the source code of the software tool,
you can modify it, you can re-distribute it, etc.
