Overview of Configuration page

TEVA is used by clicking buttons on the current page. Here is a list of the buttons on the Configuration page with a description of their use. English labels will be used here. The keyboard shortcuts are given between the []-brackets (might depend on language). See also the Overview of Main page.

Man buttons are radio type push buttons. When clicked, they remain "pushed down" until another button is pushed. The state of these button is remembered between invocations of TEVA.

Speaker data tables and recording duration

It is useful to have a list of speaker data available. TEVA can read and write Tab delimited tables (tsv) with speaker data. A backup of this file, with a tilde '~' appended to the name, is created if the data are changed.

Data: [D] Read table with speaker data
Directory: [y] Create a table from all recordings in a directory
Save: [v] Write current table with speaker data
Close: [o] Close current table and open a new, empty one
Merge: [g] Merge new table with current speaker data
Sort: [V] Sort the list of recordings
Shuffle: [u] Randomize the list of recordings
Revert: [c] Revert speaker data to saved version
Serial: [i] Step through all recordings in sequence (Speaker button changes to blue Nxt, next recording)

Each row in the speaker table contains five fields separated by tabs:

[1] Speaker, or Recording, ID (must be unique)

[2] Speaker description (age, sex, etc)

[3] Comments

[4] File name of a recording with path relative to the table

[5] Acoustic Signal Type (1-4)

[6] ASTstart Start of the window used for AST (optional)

[7] ASTend End of the window used for AST (optional)

[8] Prepared columns with Acoustic Signal Type (1-4) (optional)

If given, the recording will be automatically loaded if this speaker is selected in the main page.
