Text Seeker (Tzeeker) Project

Line: 34 to 34

 The Tzeeker project will result in a simplified text analysis resource for both new and experienced users but without jeopardizing the effectiveness it possesses. Tzeeker will follow the same TA principles as TAPoR, but at the same time will provide a ready and available resource for users of any level of experience. It will minimize initial interaction and instead determine appropriate TA actions to take based on the text entered.

Objectives

Changed:
<
<		 To experiment with a simple one-field-one-button interface that can introduce users to text analysis. To provide a “one field does all” site in which users can analyze text in a variety of different forms with a variety of analytical tools. Ultimately, to provide a smart text analysis site that incorporates a variety of TA tools and eliminates initial confusion surrounding the site’s existence and capabilities.

Page Designs

Changed:

>		 Three page designs were considered for the look of Tzeeker's final interface. Because Design (1) featured a set of complex graphical elements including modestly rounded corners and a colour gradient on title bars, it was decided that Design (1) was not realistically employable. Eventually, Design (1) was eliminated, and Design (3) was chosen between the two that remained based on the partiality for warm over cool colours.

What's Next?

Changed:
<
<		 Because the subject of text analysis is not one that necessarily goes hand in hand with art, page design for a TA site can be somewhat restricting with respect to artistic expression. However, the future of Tzeeker may see some elements from the following interface concepts for Tzeeker II. Tzeeker’s future will undoubtedly see a wider variety of tools to run, better displays and an advanced feature that lets the user choose the tools to run.

We want to create a simplified touchpoint for new and experienced users alike. It should minimize initial interaction and instead determine appropriate TA actions to take based on the text entered. Initial results should provide an overview of the diverse ways that one could approach the text and offer suggestion via the interface for further analysis.

User 1? - Student in English who wants to study poetry and is wondering if this will help them. They have no idea what text analysis is and they want to know how this would help them.

User 2? - Graduate student in Communication Studies who is interested in analytical methods. They want to try this out as a way of figuring out if TAPoR has anything for their research. They are interested computer game discourse, but don't have a corpus yet.

User 3? - Faculty member who wants to compare student writing to other types of writing. They want to see if it can help them assess student writing and if they can learn something about youth discourse on a subject like movies.

User 4? - Biology professor, editor of a journal is looking for ways to see if TA can suggest keywords for journal articles. Wants to see if dumping the article in would help him figure out what it is about

User 5? - Journalist who writes a column and what to feed in source materials to get ideas. They start by feeding some of their own writings in to see what it says about them.

User 6? - Employer who wants to compare writings of different public relations employees.

Results Page

1. This box briefly describes what Text Seeker did to the user’s text in order to come up with the results displayed on this page. It also gives the user the option of manually selecting different types of analyses from a set of tools if they are not satisfied with the automated results.

2. If the automated results are not enough, Text Seeker also lists further tools that could also potentially be useful to the user depending on the type of text.

3. This is where the user will be able to see how Text Seeker completely analyzed their text in three different ways. The site’s intelligence picks these three tools in accordance with the type of text entered by the user.

  1. Same as above

  1. A URL will be run against the simplified summarizer

  1. In this case the same summarizer will be run, but will return a slightly abbreviated set of results and will present these in a two coilum,n arrangement. Between the two columns will be an 'explore difference' button as well as the standard 'tell me more'- type buttons that are underneath each summary component.

  1. This file would have to be stripped and then run through the simplerSummarizer.

  1. I don't think that we should allow this because the intent of this interface is to be enter and hit return. One click results, where this would be more involved and is better done through the portal.

1. This is where the Text Seeker logo will appear in the final graphic designs. The logo is a detail that will be mocked-up, critiqued, and re-designed in the latter phases of this project.

2. The browse button will allow the user to search their personal computer for any file (.doc, .txt, etc.) containing text.

3. These two buttons emphasize the importance of a simplified interface. As there are really only two options to choose from in order to advance to a new page, the user will feel a sense of comfort rather than being overwhelmed with choices.

4. The text entry box is larger than that of the archetypal search engine to indicate that more than just a few words or sentences can be pasted in.

Objectives

Initial Thoughts

The existence of the portal and of the TAPoRWare? tools page can be confusing to users. We want to create a simplified touchpoint for new and experienced users alike. It should minimize initial interaction and instead determine appropriate TA actions to take based on the text entered. Initial results should provide an overview of the diverse ways that one could approach the text and offer suggestion via the interface for further analysis

Possible Inputs

  1. a single word
  2. two or three words
  3. a longer phrase without punctuation
  4. a url
  5. two or three url (would you do this?)
  6. an XML or HTML encoded file
  7. a reference to a local document (do we even want to support this via this interface iteration?)

Possible Outputs

  1. Googlizer is invoked and it aggregates a chunk of text for the top 10 URLs and gives a summary page

  1. We again use Googlizer and aggregate from the top 10 returns and return a summary page

  1. Same as above

  1. A URL will be run against the simplified summarizer

  1. In this case the same summarizer will be run, but will return a slightly abbreviated set of results and will present these in a two coilum,n arrangement. Between the two columns will be an 'explore difference' button as well as the standard 'tell me more'- type buttons that are underneath each summary component.

  1. This file would have to be stripped and then run through the simplerSummarizer.

  1. I don't think that we should allow this because the intent of this interface is to be enter and hit return. One click results, where this would be more involved and is better done through the portal.

Guiding Principles

  • One Click is going to get you results
  • Each screen will suggest future directions
  • Directions will take the form of demonstration (static or live) of what invocation of that direction will provide as a result (preferrably as a graphic visualisation)
