Usage

1. Navigate to the folder this program was downloaded to: DDL-Transcript-Analyzer.
2. Open the data folder.
3. Create folders for each session you would like to analyze. For example, 1 for Session 1.* If that folder already exists, please ensure it is empty.
4. Place your data of .xlsx or .csv files into their appropriate session folder.
5. Exit the data folder and return to the main DDL-Transcript-Analyzer folder.
6. Run main.py and follow the on-screen prompts. If the program ever errors, redo this step.
7. Return to the main DDL-Transcript-Analyzer folder.
8. Open the results folder.
9. The results can be found in subfolders identical in name to the data folders you created in Step 3.

*In the future, we hope to remove the need for subfolders to simplify ease of use: Issue #36

Notes for Future Developers

Please run the following commands before beginning development to avoid leaking API Keys and mixing up transcripts:

• git update-index --skip-worktree codebase/api_keys.py
• git update-index --skip-worktree codebase/__pycache__/api_keys.cpython-312.pyc
• git update-index --skip-worktree data/
• git update-index --skip-worktree codebase/processing/
• git update-index --skip-worktree results/
