transcript object, list of transcript objects, corpus object.

skipDuplicates

Logical; If FALSE double transcripts will be renamed to make the names unique, if TRUE double transcripts will not be added.

Logical; if TRUE full text will be created.

assignMedia

Logical; if TRUE the folder(s) specified in @paths.media.files of your corpus object will be scanned for media.

Details

The name of the transcript objects have to be unique in the act package. The @name attribute of each transcript object will be set as identifier in the list of transcripts in the corpus object. By default, transcripts with non unique names will be renamed. If you prefer to import.skip.double.files, set the parameter skipDuplicates=TRUE. Skipped/renamed transcripts will be reported in
