Use left-right arrow keys to browse through the slides.

The important points:

Strictly the same name for the audio file, the video file and the transcription file, except the pattern+extension
Annotation files: UTF-8 encoding only
Audio files are limited to WAV or AU in mono (e.g. ONE CHANNEL)

NEVER convert a lossy compressed file like mp3 into WAV: this is not an issue!!!

Video files are limited to the containers mp4, avi, mov, mkv. Notice that not all codecs are supported.

Tutorials - SPPAS 4.x

Do not except for tutorials to present how to use the SPPAS graphical user interface (GUI). If you want to learn how to use it, you can do it yourself: there are sample files in the package, so get started!

Like in any other GUI, there are buttons, click on them and you will see what's happening. So... are you going to try? There's no risk!

Video tutorials - SPPAS 3.x

English subtitles are turned-on by default. Click [CC] to disable. If English subtitles are turned on and you can't see them into the video, you can either download the mp4/srt files and play the video with your own video player... or you can open this page with THE web browser: Firefox.

Slide shows: SPPAS 2.x

All the features of the current version of SPPAS were already in SPPAS 2.x. The main principles on how to use SPPAS and the recommendations are still valid.
However, new features are constantly added and the Graphical User Interface was entirely changed.
