Gets the given anchors in the given transcript.

Lists the given anchors in the given transcript.

getAnchors(labbcat.url, id, anchor.id, page.length = 1000)

Arguments

labbcat.url

URL to the LaBB-CAT instance

id

A transcript ID (i.e. transcript name)

anchor.id

A vector of anchor IDs (or a string representing one anchor ID)

page.length

In order to prevent timeouts when there are a large number of matches or the network connection is slow, rather than retrieving anchors in one big request, they are retrieved using many smaller requests. This parameter controls the number of anchors retrieved per request.

Value

A named list of anchors, with members:

  • id The annotation's unique ID,

  • offset The offset from the beginning (in seconds if it's a transcript of a recording, or in characters if it's a text document)

  • confidence A rating from 0-100 of the confidence of the offset, e.g. 10: default value, 50: force-aligned, 100: manually aligned
