For a while now we’ve had the “Swipe Review Tool” as an option to be enabled in the profile. At this point I’d like to deprecate the currently used review tool and only support the Swipe Review Tool. Please raise any objections within the next month.
If there are no major objections, I will go ahead with this plan.
Advantages of using the Swipe Review Tool
More streamlined (focused) process to review sentences
Counter on how many sentence reviews are ready to be submitted
Swipe to approve/reject (works on Desktop too)
Still provides buttons in case you don’t want to swipe - easier naming on the button using words instead of emojis
Supports keyboard shortcuts!
Less code to maintain making future improvements easier
We are adding works which become public domain.
We push them into excel and automatically mark allowable sentences (14 words, 100 chars limits).
We review each of them for content, old/unused words and possible scan/OCR issues.
Then we add them to the sentence collector. One book results in 2500-3000 sentences.
My mates in our group review them for correctness and accept/reject.
We correct & re-add the rejected ones (< 1%).
During validation, as the sentences are in book’s order, one can get the concept and read (half of) the book. In the old setting, you could see the next lines and make the decision more intelligently.
We are seasoned computer engineers and work with multiple large monitors, so real estate is never a problem.
Preparing a book takes half a day. But validating them twice takes a very long time. I will be adding a couple of more books next month but I’m sure my mates will complain…
The new interface is mobile only (more than mobile first).
I would propose this if I saw your post before (I was on a long vacation):
Allow mobile / desktop views
Increase desktop view to 10 sentences
Add a button to the bottom labeled “accept all” to prevent multiple clicks
Detect browser/OS/device to show related view but also provide a “switch to…” button. Not in settings…
The current mobile view is very good indeed, except one quirk (already in github issue but closed, possibly a regression).
Note that for large or bulk imports, there is a separate (not very well advertised) process. The limit of 100k is not a hard limit, it would be possible to do with smaller amounts as well.
