Export raw data

[barichello]

I just received my smartpen and I am doing some tests to see how far can I go with it on linux.

First good news: smartpen-browser is working great after the commands I posted here #1

Second not-so-good news: I had to make the adjust made by this guy https://github.com/thebrentc/smartpen-browser in order to make the right-click to work

Third good news: I really appreciated the possibility of having access to the raw audio file

Fourth news: I missed the option of having access to the raw image file.
When I generate the pdf on the windows official software and open the pdf on Okular, I can extract some xml-like files (.iml) with a lot of coordinates. I imagine that you are using this file to generate the pdf, but how could I have access to the raw file?
I would use it to generate videos synchronized with the audio. There is an preliminary example made in javascript here http://www.mais.mat.br/pencast/ (use the Play button, not the player, and wait 15 seconds).

So my question is: how could I get the raw files with the coordinates of the writing?

I managed to identify the zip file with the raw data, extract the stf file, modify the stf.py script to generate a xml file (I am still deciding if I should use xml or svg) instead of a png and develop a simple interpreter in javascript to reproduce the content as an animation (using the timestamps) instead of a static image.

My question now is, how can I identify the audio (with its timestamp) related to a given page?

After some new attempts, I found out that the zip file generated by the smartpen-browser has some files that seem to carry to information I need.

The zip file has one folder for each page (identified apparently by a hexadecimal name). Inside this folder, there is a folder named "sessions" and then one folder for each audio. Inside these folder, there are one .aac audio file, one session.info and one session.pages. My educated guess is that those files have the info I need. But they are not plain text. Any clue about how I could read them?

Steven, I am still interested in advancing the smartpen-browser. Are you?

As I said in previous posts, I managed to extract svg (with timestamps) from stf files and animate them with audio (using html+javascript). This is much richer than the png files and I think it could be incorporated to the browser.
Even though I do not know how to do it, I am willing to invest some time helping you to do so. Are you interested?

After embarrassingly much delay, I am interested in putting energy in this project again. How would you like to proceed?

[barichello]

Hey, @srwalter , unfortunately I am not working the smartpens anymore and would not have spare time to actually invest on this right now.
However, I would be willing to explain you what I wanted and what I have done back then.

[srwalter]

Sure! Maybe open a new issue for that?

What about we discuss this by email first?
