Figure 1: Movie transcripts widget interface

The Movie transcripts widget simply lets the user make a search on the SpringfieldSpringfield website.

The Search button searches the database for entries matching user’s input.

The Refresh database button downloads the newest collection of all the movie titles available on the website and stores them in cache.

The Corpus section is a container where the user’s transcripts are stored. The user can add or remove transcripts to and from their corpus or clear the corpus entirely.

The Send button triggers the emission of a segmentation to the output connection(s). When selected, the Send automatically checkbox disables the button and the widget attempts to automatically emit a segmentation at every modification of its interface.
