How to export transcript clips to JSON

This export function is specifically for exporting just the Transcript Clips in the current Transcript to a common data format (JSON) that can be read and parsed by other software tools.

Exporting to JSON

1. Select File ➔ Export from the menu or click the Export button on the ribbon bar.
2. Click on the relevant Continue button for "Transcript Clips (JSON)".
3. Specify the "Destination File" location for the exported file (.json). The default filename suggested will be the same as the name of the Transcript in DOTE.
4. For all Transcript clips found in the current Transcript, choose your options from the check boxes.
   • Format JSON to be human readable.
   • Include UUIDs - these are unique identifiers used in DOTE and DOTEbase.
   • Include Transcript text - that is the text that is selected to be annotated.
   • Include approximate times (from sync-codes) - only possible in sync-codes are present.
   • Include tags.
   • Include annotations (in the Transcript Clip).
     • Include user-defined fields - these are special fields designated by the user.
   • Include metadata.
     • Format dates as human readable.
   • Export only clips with selected tags (default off).
     • If this is selected, then a list of all tags used in Clips in the current Transcript are listed for selection.
5. When ready, select Start Export.
6. You can find the JSON file in the folder you selected.

If someone has written a import parser for the JSON data structure that DOTE exports, then you can import it into another software package.
