Revolutionize Your Audio/Video Labeling With Contextual Scrolling

We are excited to share some new functionality that will enhance your data labeling experience with Label Studio - read on to learn more!

Contextual scrolling

Having a text transcript available while annotating video or audio items can have a significant positive impact in labeling accuracy. However, manually scrolling through transcripts while listening to audio or watching video can lead to fatigue and slow labeling velocity. Contextual scrolling synchronizes the transcript with the audio or video so that the text transcript automatically scrolls to the new listening point. This will improve annotation accuracy and provide a much better user experience for annotators and reviewers.

Specific functionality includes:

• Bidirectional sync support between audio and paragraphs including seek, play and pause activities
• The ability to interact the with main audio player, including playhead, timestamps, and timelines.
• Visual indication of the audio segment currently playing and the corresponding paragraph for quick orientation of playback progress
• Ability to disable automatic scrolling for full control over playback
• Segmented paragraph play/pause button synchronization with main audio player
• Support for manual scrolling for long paragraphs
• Video, audio, & segmented paragraphs synchronization support

Stability improvements to the ML backend

We’ve also made made some significant bug fixes to our machine learning backend that make it easier than ever to connect and use a machine learning model with Label Studio to automate labeling tasks and dynamically retrieve pre-annotations from your model.

To learn more about how to implement our ML backend in Label Studio Enterprise, check out this enterprise docs article.

We are eager for you to try out these new features and look forward to your feedback.

Happy labeling,
