11. 4. Please rate your experience with the TC Editor: - Comments Powered by www.WebSurveyMaster.com 1. After exporting data, the print-out does not come out nicely for long phrases especially in Bantu languages. 2. It is easy to add new phrases at the end of a text, but it is a hassle to add phrases to the middle of a text, especially if the phrases following are already annotated. 3. I can import data? I didn't know that! I'll need to find out how...

12. 5. Have you tried to use the system's global tags? What is your experience? - Comments Powered by www.WebSurveyMaster.com 1. -NIL- 2. Helpful and user friendly. 3. No, I didn't need. 4. it is quite nice, but there should be a possibility of creating language-specific tags 5. Not yet 6. I use them, but I find them pretty terrible. They represent a theoretical stance that is quite foreign to me. I'd prefer it if we could set our own somehow. 7. yes, and I enjoy them. Actually, I could recommend a system called 'Construction Labeling'...

There could be more information on the possibilities beyond the editor. Like creating project websites for presentations and how to link those sites with examples, etc. Maybe an example site could help. 5. Yes I would want whenever possible. 6. I don't really like training sessions. I found some of the helpful information hard to find. 7. asking people familiar with the system is often helpful

I have only used one phrase at ago. 4. We're only interested in the xml export, and that works very nicely.

36. 12. Please comment on any aspect, positive or negative, that you feel would be helpful for us to know. - Comments Powered by www.WebSurveyMaster.com 1. I believe the users would benefit a lot of more interaction in the discussion pages. 2. 1. I think that the TC Team need to reach out to many more persons to show them the usefulness of TC. 3. I like that TC remembers words and will gloss them automatically. It'll only do that for works with a simple morpheme structure, though. If a word consists of two or more morphemes, I have to manually gloss them, which means that I will gloss something like 1SG.PSSOR-mother about 100 times, even though the form is totally unambiguous. The global tag set is really terrible (I know I already said it, but I thought I'd reiterate) and it would be nice if that was customizable. The fact that I spent hours browsing about on the TC site and only today learn about the import function suggests that it's hidden too well ;) I'll go and find out about it later. On the whole, I really like it. 4. so much I could say...
