00:00:11,802 --> 00:00:17,012
LiveTextAccess: Training for real-time intralingual subtitlers.

2
00:00:21,808 --> 00:00:28,030
Unit 6. Velotyping. Element 5. Factors for high performance.

3
00:00:32,269 --> 00:00:37,958
This video lecture explains the strategies
or techniques for self-motivation

4
00:00:37,983 --> 00:00:41,234
and has been created by SSML and Velotype.

5
00:00:43,865 --> 00:00:47,891
On completion of this training
sequence

6
00:00:47,915 --> 00:00:51,572
you will be able to implement strategies
and techniques for self-motivation.

7
00:00:51,597 --> 00:00:55,397
Like knowing your software and its multiple facets.

8
00:00:55,422 --> 00:00:58,920
Improving your capacity to be accurate and rapid.

9
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,851
Motivating your team.

10
00:01:00,876 --> 00:01:05,843
And knowing how to gather information on speeches before the job starts.

11
00:01:08,263 --> 00:01:09,747
This is the agenda.

12
00:01:09,772 --> 00:01:12,922
We will first look at knowing your software.

13
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:14,984
Then the training and progress.

14
00:01:15,009 --> 00:01:18,416
Followed by motivating students and colleagues.

15
00:01:18,441 --> 00:01:22,564
And finishing with gathering information and speeches.

16
00:01:22,589 --> 00:01:24,856
In the end we will give a summary.

17
00:01:28,374 --> 00:01:30,054
Knowing your software.

18
00:01:31,770 --> 00:01:35,083
Your velotyping software is not just a tool.

19
00:01:35,108 --> 00:01:39,918
It is your main partner
to reach high levels of performance.

20
00:01:39,943 --> 00:01:43,355
Getting to know it is fundamental for your career.

21
00:01:43,380 --> 00:01:50,491
It is important to learn the Velotype key combinations
in a structured and disciplined way.

22
00:01:50,516 --> 00:01:54,285
This is done by using the Velotype Academy software.

23
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:59,413
In which you learn the combinations step by step
in an interactive way.

24
00:01:59,438 --> 00:02:07,385
The Velotype academy software can be directly downloaded
via the website www.velotype.com.

25
00:02:15,816 --> 00:02:17,792
Training and progress.

26
00:02:24,232 --> 00:02:28,223
Another aspect you must start dealing with is mistakes.

27
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:32,711
Mistakes happen. And they can be more or less serious.

28
00:02:32,736 --> 00:02:35,544
Keep making the same mistakes is frustrating.

29
00:02:37,477 --> 00:02:43,585
Knowing them and how to avoid them
is fundamental to achieve better and better results.

30
00:02:43,610 --> 00:02:50,823
Keep track of your mistakes.
You will learn how to deal with each of them and do a better job!

31
00:02:50,848 --> 00:02:54,828
For example,
after your job you can go through the text

32
00:02:54,853 --> 00:03:00,683
using the spellcheck and grammar check
to see if there are mistakes in the spelling.

33
00:03:00,708 --> 00:03:07,411
Keep a list of words you might find difficult
or in which you often make errors in spelling.

34
00:03:07,436 --> 00:03:11,184
Next time you can remember how to write the words correctly.

35
00:03:17,287 --> 00:03:21,681
Some words are easier to type on a Velotype keyboard than others.

36
00:03:21,706 --> 00:03:28,593
For example when using fingers which are not so flexible,
like the ring finger or the pinky.

37
00:03:28,618 --> 00:03:34,481
It is good to keep a list of such more difficult words and try practicing them daily.

38
00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:43,029
However, when it remains difficult and slows you down,
it is better to split up such words in an extra stroke.

39
00:03:43,054 --> 00:03:47,371
But beware that you don’t split up too many words in that way.

40
00:03:47,396 --> 00:03:52,832
Try to type the words exactly as being proposed by the Velotype Academy.

41
00:03:52,857 --> 00:04:00,475
So don’t use 2 or 3 strokes for a word or syllable that can also be typed in 1 stroke.

42
00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:04,012
As you have to know the correct spelling of words yourself...

43
00:04:04,037 --> 00:04:10,366
especially when you are not using any form
of real time spell check or auto correction...

44
00:04:10,391 --> 00:04:16,489
it is good to go through your spelling mistakes
and learn from them after each session or job.

45
00:04:19,578 --> 00:04:24,198
One of the best ways to improve your quality standards is to reach Mars!

46
00:04:26,178 --> 00:04:29,582
Well, I should say: to reach your MARS.

47
00:04:29,607 --> 00:04:34,553
The acronym for Most Accurate and Rapid Speech-to-text rate.

48
00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:42,913
Because you must be quick but also avoid mistakes
that may hinder comprehension of what you are writing.

49
00:04:42,938 --> 00:04:51,376
MARS is the maximum number of words per minute one is able to produce
while keeping high quality standards.

50
00:04:51,401 --> 00:04:58,163
Knowing your MARS will allow you to understand
when you can follow your speaker word for word

51
00:04:58,188 --> 00:05:03,278
and when you need to summarise in order to keep high quality standards.

52
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:07,240
It is always good to try to improve this at all time.

53
00:05:07,265 --> 00:05:14,490
Try to be as perfectionistic as you can be
in order to deliver the highest quality of work you can.

54
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:22,086
Motivating students and colleagues.

55
00:05:25,210 --> 00:05:28,812
When you are learning the system
completely by yourself

56
00:05:28,812 --> 00:05:33,527
it can be difficult to stay disciplined and motivated.

57
00:05:33,552 --> 00:05:41,195
But perhaps there is someone in your environment who can help you
in staying motivated and not giving up.

58
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:45,925
Maybe it is your parents, brother, sister or a best friend.

59
00:05:45,950 --> 00:05:49,907
Just having them motivate you, can be helpful.

60
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:55,125
When you are learning the system together
in a group of students, or with colleagues

61
00:05:55,150 --> 00:05:58,998
it can work great if you motivate each other.

62
00:05:59,023 --> 00:06:03,497
And discuss the progress and the problems you are encountering.

63
00:06:03,522 --> 00:06:07,980
Of course a teacher or coach can help you with this as well.

64
00:06:08,005 --> 00:06:12,207
Later on, when doing jobs in the field, it is always good

65
00:06:12,232 --> 00:06:19,179
to discuss your problems or questions with other colleagues
who might have encountered similar situations.

66
00:06:27,656 --> 00:06:30,687
Gathering information and speeches.

67
00:06:36,890 --> 00:06:44,587
As you know, pre-editing consists of getting as much information as possible from the speakers on the topic.

68
00:06:44,612 --> 00:06:48,765
This will help you motivate to do the job.

69
00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:56,150
Every time I am called to do a job,
I look at the agenda and look for two important things:

70
00:06:56,175 --> 00:06:59,640
Who the speakers are and what they will talk about.

71
00:06:59,665 --> 00:07:04,919
I then surf the Net looking for previous speeches of the same speakers

72
00:07:04,944 --> 00:07:08,839
and/or speeches about the same topics.

73
00:07:08,864 --> 00:07:15,643
This will allow me to enrich my knowledge of the topic
as well as my vocabulary.

74
00:07:15,668 --> 00:07:18,785
Being prepared makes me feel much better

75
00:07:18,810 --> 00:07:27,339
allows me to do a better job and even allows me
to find exit strategies more easily when in trouble.

76
00:07:27,364 --> 00:07:34,845
When you know beforehand a speaker will read a speech from paper,
it can be very useful to have this beforehand.

77
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:43,485
Especially with unexperienced speakers it can be a challenge
when they read a speech when being nervous or too fast.

78
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,521
The summary.

79
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,730
Knowing your equipment is fundamental.

80
00:07:57,755 --> 00:08:00,733
You should always aim to improve your skills.

81
00:08:00,758 --> 00:08:04,034
And make sure you are well prepared for your jobs.

82
00:08:06,883 --> 00:08:08,883
The exercises

83
00:08:11,552 --> 00:08:17,252
The exercises for this video lecture are in the Trainer's Guide for this unit

84
00:08:17,277 --> 00:08:20,392
and in the PowerPoint presentation.
