]]> Comment on In the Lab: Image Capture Devices by JenWang http://answerlab.com/blog/2010/10/04/in-the-lab-image-capture-devices/comment-page-1/#comment-121 JenWang Sat, 11 Jun 2011 06:31:21 +0000 http://answerlab.com/blog/2010/10/04/in-the-lab-image-capture-devices/#comment-121 I used a HUE gooseneck HD camera with an USB end (attached on a DIY mobile phone holder we made) connected to Morae Recorder by a USB extension cable for my mobile usability studies. The gooseneck camera is about $50, together with the phone holder the total gadget is less than $100. It captures good enough video footage and is very cost-effective, at the same time allows single hand operation and the phone does not need to be laid flat on a surface.

]]> Comment on I have a (note taking) dream by JenWang http://answerlab.com/blog/2010/09/17/i-have-a-note-taking-dream/comment-page-1/#comment-120 JenWang Sat, 11 Jun 2011 06:21:37 +0000 http://answerlab.com/blog/2010/09/17/i-have-a-note-taking-dream/#comment-120 This may not be relevant any more but I recall in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 there is a new feature called audio transcription, which is very powerful and comes really handy in helping locating audio/video clips when editing, as long as the video is in the languages that Premier Pro CS4 supports (unfortunately Chinese is not one of them). And I heard Adobe has greatly improved the accuracy in CS5. If time is not an issue, a couple extra steps could make your dream come true - you can export the entire Morae footage to .wmv or .avi video and import it into Premiere pro, transcribe it, make corrections if need to as the transcription is not accurate science, then by using key words search you can easily locate the specific part of the footage with audio and video.
