Batch Processing

Batch processing is used to automatically search many different recordings for vocalizations.

From the "File" menu, select "Batch...". This will open a new "Batch Processing" window. The control panel for this window contains a special "Batch" tab not found in other windows.

The "Batch" tab displays the currently selected search directory and contains the following controls:

Change Directory: Push the "Change Directory" button to select a different search directory.
Include Subdirectories: Select "Include subdirectories" to recursively search all subdirectories for recordings to scan
.WAV Files: Select ".WAV Files" to scan all .wav files found in the search directory. If "Include subdirectories" is also checked, then all subdirectories will also be searched for .wav files.
.WAC Files: Select ".WAC Files" to scan all .wac files found in the search directory. If "Include subdirectories" is also checked, then all subdirectories will also be searched for .wac files.
.AIF Files: Select ".AIF Files" to scan all .aif/.aiff files found in the search directory. If "Include subdirectories" is also checked, then all subdirectories will also be searched for .aif/.aiff files.
.SSN Files: Select ".SSN Files" to scan all Song Scope .ssn notation files found in the search directory. If "Include subdirectories" is also checked, then all subdirectories will also be searched for Song Scope .ssn notation files.

After configuring the settings in the "Batch" tab of the control panel, you can use the "Recognizers" tab to load and select recognizers as described in Searching Recordings for Vocalizations.

When you press the "Start Scan" button in the "Recognizers" tab, the selected recognizers will be used to scan all the recordings in the search directory as specified in the "Batch" tab. The results for all files will be tabulated in a single Batch Processing Results window. Clicking on a given result will cause the corresponding candidate vocalization to be displayed in the batch window.
