Indexes have been created for recordings in the Aviary SpokenWeb collection. These indexes were oroginally created outside of the application (in Google sheets) in a custom format. See Metadata Preparation below for more details.
A script was developed to transform timestamps from a field- and format-normalized spreadsheet into WebVTT index format for ingest into Aviary. An index contains labels (segments) with a start and end time in timecode.
A spreadsheet template with field validation was created for future indexes. See Timestamp Template and Sample Metadata below.
