Dear all,
In a research project we are examining talks and chats between two subjects, where a talk is a real-time-talk in a split-screen. Both participants are able to see in one part of the window what the other one is writing letter by letter and correction by correction, while they write themselves in the other half of the window. We distinguish between a talk (as described) and a chat. A chat we call the kind of chat where every participant writes first down what she or he wants to be published and sends this note when she or he presses enter. A chat can take place in one common window for both participants or in a split-screen-window like the talk. What we are dealing with are talks in the above definition. To be able to transcribe these talks in an appropriate way we have been looking for a program that comes up with the following features: 1. Talk The program must support real-time-talk in a split-screen-window (like described above). The windows should be resizable and you should be able to customize the fonts. The program must be easy enough to use for computer-beginners. 2. LAN We need a program, which runs in a local area network (LAN) that is behind a firewall. 3. Transcription feature Very important is the transcription of the talks. A good transcription should save us filming the screens of the participants and transcribe it completely by hand. The requirements on the transcription are about the same as on a transcript for a dialogue analysis. We need the sequence and the succession of the letters typed/the keys hit (e. g. including all corrections and pauses). Therefore we need not only a usual chat-transcript, but also one that is suitable for the requirements of a dialogue-analysis. Best would be a transcription as ICQ provides, where talks can be saved and replayed letter-by-letter and key-by-key. The ICQ-chat-transcripts are like a videotape of the screen; you can even speed it up or slow it down (ICQ itself violates requirement 2, furthermore our administrator has serious claims against ICQ behind our firewall, if it works (via groupware) at all). Unfortunately we do not know a program that fulfils our demands as outlined before and we did not find any up to now. We hope severely that you can make us some suggestions. If you have any ideas and you think they could help us or if you made any experiences with talk-analysis, please contact us. Thanks in advance for any help Luise Springer Mailto:l.springer@uni-koeln.de Kulturwissenschaftliches Forschungskolleg Medien und kulturelle Kommunikation (SFB/FK 427) Universitä´ zu K??- Bernhard-Feilchenfeld-Str.11 - 50969 K??- Germany Tel: +49 (0)221 470-6759 Fax: -6773 http://www.uni-koeln.de/inter-fak/fk-427 |
