2 Navigating the Main Screen

The main screen of Rezonator is our visual representation of the text imported delineated into tokens and units.

The main screen consists of four major sections:

• The Workspace where the document is displayed and edited
• The Tool Pane is the vertical section on the right
• The Navigation Window is above both of those
• Finally the Menu Bar is at the top of the screen

2.1 Workspace

The Workspace is a malleable area where the user can view token and unit level fields. This is also the actionable space where most data annotation will occur. The workspace can be scrolled using the scroll bar or by using other quick navigation hotkeys linked to the arrow keys. The workspace can be used to show different sections of the document based on what the user is trying to filter on.

2.1.1 Word Editing

Word Editing allows you to modify the words or tokens on the Main Screen, allowing for more annotation options. Use cases of Word Editing include splitting compound words to annotate the pieces separately, and inserting placeholder or implicit words like the Zero morpheme.

To begin Word Editing, Right Mouse Click on a word/token in the Main Screen. This will open a dropdown menu containing the options New Token, Delete Token, and Tag.

• Note: When the selected word is in a Chain, this dropdown will have an additional option called Delete Link. This does not pertain to Word Editing.

• The New Word option allows you to insert a new word into the discourse. Selecting this option will activate another dropdown with the options < 0 >, < ZERO >, < PRO >, and Custom.
  • < 0 >, < ZERO >, and < PRO > are all default new words. Selecting one of these defaults will insert that word as a new token.
  • The Custom option will prompt you with a input box to add your own text. clicking the OK button will insert the New Word before the selected word. Toggling the Insert Before button will have the New Word inserted after the selected word.
• The Delete Token option will delete the selected token.
• The Tag option will allow you to tag the token or the chain the token is associated with on both the entry and chain level.

Tags can be further managed in the Tag pane on the Navigation window.

2.1.2 Text Direction

Two forms of text direction are currently supported in Rezonator, Right-To-Left and Left-To-Right. The text direction of the text is chosen by default based on the type of characters imported. If they require Right-To-Left then it will be enabled by default. This option can always be toggled by using the “L” key, or using the view drop down.
