Description

Currently there is only one data entry interface, which allows recording, but it primarily designed for adding vernacular-gloss pairs. We should implement an alternate data entry interface designed for adding recordings to all entries in a semantic domain. (Requested by Larry Hayashi in Sep. 16 debrief.)

Add a recording focused interface which streamlines adding recordings to existing words.

Possible features:

  • Show all entries in a sem. dom. with no recordings (or optionally at most 1)
    • Perhaps persist the last n entries to which a recording was added in case a redo (or additional) recording is desired
  • Access via a dropdown menu (on Data Entry in the App bar or on the domain buttons within tree view) for data entry interface selection (not preferred) or through a new button in the App bar, or as a goal in Data Clean-up.

Should explore some designs with Larry

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing data entry interface and how semantic-domain entries are accessed. Explore recording-focused designs with Larry Hayashi, including entry filtering and navigation options; the work is done when an agreed alternate interface for adding recordings to existing words is implemented.
