Judge's Dictation Tool

When judges are providing their feedback, it is possible for them to use the dictation tool to record their comments.

Comments can be recorded in the judge's chosen language, and the output language will be determined by the event.

By default, the judge dictation tool is active.

To make amendments to the configuration of the dictation tool, JavaScript can be added to your event.

To add JavaScript to your event, go to Website > Themes > Theme Settings, and scroll to the end of the page until you see the JavaScript section.

Using JavaScript, you can

• Disable the dictation tool
• Include additional source languages (i.e. the language the judge will dictate their comments in)
• Modify the output language that the comments will be saved in
• Modify button texts and other text fields

The example below shows how to add French translation to the functions within the dictation tool:

var judgesSpeechToTextConfig = {
    activateSpeech: true,
    targetLanguage: {
        code: "en-GB",
        label: "English"
    },
    sourceLanguages: [
        { code: "af", label: "Afrikaans" },
        { code: "en", label: "English" },
        { code: "fr", label: "French" },
        { code: "de", label: "German" },
        { code: "it", label: "Italian" },
        { code: "es", label: "Spanish" },
        { code: "pt", label: "Portuguese" },
        { code: "zh", label: "Chinese" },
        { code: "ar", label: "Arabic" }
    ],     
    feedbackText: {
    'en': {
        labelFeedback: "Feedback",
        toggleLabel: "Dictation",
        toggleDisable: "disable",
        toggleEnable: "enable",
        textLabel: "Text will be ",
        speechLabel: "You speak ",
        button: {
            start: "Start dictation",
            listening: "Listening",
            stop: "Stop dictation"
        }
    },
    'fr': {
        labelFeedback: "Retour d'information",
        toggleLabel: "Dictée",
        toggleDisable: "désactiver",
        toggleEnable: "activer",
        textLabel: "Le texte sera ",
        speechLabel: "Vous parlez ",
        button: {
            start: "Commencer la dictée",
            listening: "Écoute",
            stop: "Arrêter la dictée"
        }
    },
  }

};
