Annotation Viewer (Early Preview)

[Juan E. Sandoval]

(Heads Up! This still has a lot of bugs and limitations. If you get stuck at any point, just refresh the webpage.)
For those interested, I wanted to present something of an "early preview" of a complementary program to the codifier, which I'm calling the "viewer" for now. It takes a report (if exported as a .CSV file) and then allows you to watch the signals in real-time side-by-side with the video. Here is a link to the current release: https://cognitivetype.com/viewer/

To use it:

• 1. Save your report as a .CSV file from the codifier ( https://cognitivetype.com/codifier/ )
• 2. Upload it using the "Browse for CSV" button on the viewer
• 3. Click "Load Video" afterwards
• 4. Play around with the buttons!
• 5. That's it!

Why this Tool?

Although this is an early draft, it presents a general concept for where I hope to take things in the future, as far as the user experience goes. In my opinion, the codifier is not complete without a viewer, because from a reader's pov a list of timestamps and raw data are not very useful if you have to check each one individually through painstaking back-and-forth referencing of the report and the video. A data viewer is essential to learn how to read (via follow-along examples) and to criticize the data for errors.
The viewer is the last piece of the puzzle -- with the profiler, codifier, and viewer together -- that completes the "suite" that I had in mind from long ago, or at least the first versions of them. I hope you guys enjoy it!
And, I have to say a big thank you to those who've bought a report or subscribed to Patreon to help make this happen! The quality increase in CT materials has been possible because of your support. The model would certainly not have gotten this far, lately without you.
And just to to take a trip down memory lane...
