Render Helpdesk

In Render, Notes are the way that you can communicate to other people that are a part of your translation workflow—your team of peer checkers and the consultant. Back translators can also make notes to the consultant.

Whenever you make a note on a draft, it will go to the next person in your workflow for review. 

Anytime you see the headphones button, you can record a note right in your draft. 

First, move your scrubber to the spot in your audio where you want to make a note (1). If you have received a note from someone, you can also click on their note to respond (2)

After clicking in the audio where you want to make a note, click on the Note button:

A note popup will appear.  You can add a text note or an audio note or both.

After closing the popup, your page will now have notes in the audio:

In the example above, there are 3 note markers (18). The first two were recorded at the beginning of the passage, and the third one was recorded at 12 seconds into the passage (19). By pressing any of the notes (18), the note popup will open and allow you to read written notes or listen to audio notes. You can also add new notes. Press the play button (21) to listen to the passage. To add more notes, move your scrub bar to a new spot and press the Note button (22) to record a new note and follow the steps above.
