R Documentation

Create .srt subtitles for all search results

Description

Subtitles in 'Subrib Title' .srt format will be created for each search result. The subtitles will be inserted into the column defined in s@cuts.column.srt.

Usage

search_cuts_srt(
  x,
  s,
  cutSpanBeforesec = NULL,
  cutSpanAftersec = NULL,
  outputFolder = NULL,
  speaker.show = TRUE,
  speaker.width = 3,
  speaker.ending = ":"
)

Arguments

`x`	Corpus object.
`s`	Search object.
`cutSpanBeforesec`	Double; Start the cut some seconds before the hit to include some context; the default NULL will take the value as set in @cuts.span.beforesec of the search object.
`cutSpanAftersec`	Double; End the cut some seconds before the hit to include some context; the default NULL will take the value as set in @cuts.span.beforesec of the search object.
`outputFolder`	Character string; if parameter is not set, the srt subtitles will only be inserted in `s@results`; if the path to a existing folder is given transcripts will be saved in '.srt' format.
`speaker.show`	Logical; if `TRUE` name of speaker will be shown before the content of the annotation.
`speaker.width`	Integer; width of speaker abbreviation, -1 for full name without shortening.
`speaker.ending`	Character string; string that is added at the end of the speaker name.

Details

Span
If you want to extend the cut before or after each search result, you can modify @cuts.span.beforesec and @cuts.span.aftersec in your search object. If you want to modify the layout of the print transcripts, create a new layout object with mylayout <- methods::new("layout"), modify the settings and pass it as argument l.

Value

Search object;

Examples

library(act)

# Search
mysearch <- act::search_new(examplecorpus, pattern="yo")

# Create srt subtitles for all search results
test <- act::search_cuts_srt (x=examplecorpus, s=mysearch)

# Display srt subtitle of first three results
cat(test@results[1:3, mysearch@cuts.column.srt])

# Create srt subtitle including 1 sec before and 5 sec after
mysearch@cuts.span.beforesec = 1
mysearch@cuts.span.aftersec = 5
test <- act::search_cuts_srt (x=examplecorpus,
								s=mysearch)

# Display srt subtitle of first  results
cat(test@results[1,mysearch@cuts.column.srt])
