Online collaboration

The currently tooling for transcribing is limited in its ability to support multiple learners working in tandem. kiyânaw Transcribe allows for multiple users working in the same transcription simultaneously.

Deep linking

Clicking on a region will result in the URL updating to that region's location, allowing users to share the URL with others to gain support on problem areas easily.

Issue flagging

As users encounter problem words or areas within a transcription, those words can be flagged as problematic for follow-up later on, and will be visually marked for easy identification.

Spell checking integration

When analysis (spell-checking) is available for a language, advanced indexing becomes possible, allowing us to keep a list of high-frequency words. Studying these lists can help to speed the advance our comprehension and fluency.
