You can open a project by clicking the respective project card.

You can open a workspace page by clicking on “View” button.

Exploring Project Dashboard

On the dashboard page, click on a project card to open a project dashboard like this:

⁠

Project Dashboard will show you the project title, and other details about the project.

There is a task table which will also be shown on the Project Dashboard.

⁠

*All the tasks added to this project will be shown on this task table.

There are two ways of Annotating these tasks:

Using “Label All Tasks” button - takes user to next task when they click “Submit” button.

⁠

Using “Annotate” button - Users stay on same task when they click “Submit”.

⁠

Each task has a status which changes when it is submitted/skipped Check out

Getting the work done!

Language Experts on

Shoonya v0.1⁠

can work on two

project modes⁠

using following workflows:

⁠

Annotation Workflow⁠

⁠

Collection Workflow⁠

⁠

*With current sandbox roll-out of Shoonya v0.1, you will be trying out Translation Editing Project type only. Which comes under Annotation Workflow.

⁠

Annotation Workflow

Once you click on “Label All Tasks” or “Annotate” button for any task in the

Task table⁠

, you will enter a page with

Task dashboard⁠

⁠

Task dashboard consists of several features which can be used in order to optimize the usage of platform with better productivity.

“Back to Dashboard” button takes users back to the

Project Dashboard.⁠

⁠

A “Unique task number “ for each task appears below “Back to dashboard” button.

⁠

Unique task number is followed by Annotator’s account. (This can be used when multiple annotations to a task have been added by different users).

⁠

The work area consists of a given source sentence and it’s machine translated output in your language.

⁠

Users can mark annotations in the text field shown on the task dashboard.

⁠

“View All Annotations” button lets the users see various translations that have been done for a particular task by different users.

⁠

*This comes to use when more than one users are allowed to annotate a task when the project is being created by the manager.

⁠

“Delete Annotation” button is used to delete the annotations for a particular task.

⁠

“Undo” and “Redo” buttons can be used to change the reflected changes in the edit done by a user.

⁠

“Reset” button resets all the changes made in current annotation. This can be considered equivalent to using “Undo” multiple times.

⁠

Once the you have marked the required changes, there are two actions which can be performed on each task using action buttons namely “Skip” and “Submit”:

“Skip” button lets a user skip current task and go to the next unlabeled task. This comes handy when there is some mistake in source sentence or some confusion with the translation.

⁠

“Submit” button is used to submit the annotation for the present task.

⁠

*When a task is opened using “Label all tasks” button, the Submit button takes us to next unlabeled task.

When you open a task which is already annotated, while you want to make some changes to it, It will show an “Update” button instead of “Submit” button.

⁠

Change Settings for Task-Dashboard

Click the settings icon when labeling to configure the labeling interface to suit your labeling use case.

⁠

You will see a pop-up with some settings options like this on your screen:

⁠

You are encouraged to try toggling these setting and play around to learn more about these to utilize the shortcuts and improve your efficiency and productivity.

Let’s explore a few of these settings from this General tab:

“Enable Labeling Hotkeys” is used to enable the shortcut hotkeys.

“Show hotkey tooltips” when enabled shows shortcut when we hover to “Submit” or “Skip” button.

*Other setting are for OCR Annotation task.

⁠

Another tab that we have in Settings is called “Hotkeys”, which shows shortcut keys to be pressed in order to perform a functionality.

*Some of these hotkeys are for OCR Annotation tasks.

⁠

The Layout tab in Settings page is used to toggle settings for how this task dashboard looks.

You can change it as per your convenience.

“Move sidepanel to the bottom” allows you to change the placement of buttons and the text field.

⁠

*Note that Shoonya v0.1 supports limited functionalities, therefore you can ignore settings which don’t change the layout or shortcuts which don’t help. In upcoming versions, they will come to use.
