Hello!
I have a question about tokenized_text (self-paced reading).
Is there a way to divide the text, for example, the first two sentences will appear as fixed forms while the other half will appear as tokens?
For instance, if I want to use the following sentence using self-paced reading, "The Bûche de Noël cake - is - a  - French - Christmas - tradition",
I want to make the first two words appear on the screen (in a fixed form) and then each token will appear one by one.
Would this be possible?
Thanks!!

Hi, FindingFive!
I am writing because I have some questions about the audio file size limit and the premium membership.
First, I tried to upload some big audio files, but failed. It says that the file exceeds 5MB. However, as far as I remember, I uploaded some of them in the past... I am wondering this restriction is temporary, and if not, upgrading to the premium member can solve this problem.
Second, our lab is considering getting a premium membership, for which a lab account (though not be a school account) will be created. However, before doing so, I would like to check whether it is possible to transfer studies created by me and other researchers, who belong to the lab, to the lab account. I mean one of the advantages of the premium membership is that up to 3 people can be considered to be creators, and I am wondering whether it is applied for such case that the premium member is the recipient. 
(To be more specific on my situation... As I improved upon a study created by a college of mine. I am not able to publish it without her help because she is the creator, so I tried to solve this problem by copying the study. In order to do this, I have to re-upload all the stimuli. That is fine, but the problem is that the big audio files are not be able to be (re)uploaded... )
I sincerely appreciate all your help and support.
Thank you very much.

Dear Researchers,

Have you ever been deterred by the idea of creating a new study from scratch? The big empty space in trial templates and procedure seemed like a big daunting void that drains the creativity and energy out of you? Well, there's no need to be afraid anymore! The FindingFive team is delighted to announce the new study templates feature! Take a look at this beautiful screenshot:

   

Yes, that's right - you can now create a new study based on a couple of built-in templates that are already fully functional FindingFive studies. You will get the trial templates, the procedure, and even a basic set of stimuli and responses to get you started. Isn't that nice?

At the current moment, there are only three study templates: the FindingFive's official Crash Course, a mouse tracking study, and a conditional branching study. We will be adding new studies to the list over time. So stay tuned and check often!

Hello!
I have two questions about a timer and self-paced reading.
First, I coded "countdown_visible": true, to time the text.
But I notice a gray-colored number appears which indicates how many seconds left to move on to the next screen.
Is there a way to change this number into something like "You can move on to the next screen in x seconds"?
Second, I want to use self-paced reading. 
When I check how each token appears, I notice the direction saying "Press the "[SPACE]" key to advance".
Is there a way to remove this direction?
Thanks!

Researchers,
 
We are excited to announce a new way to specify the duration of a background audio response, making it possible to dynamically adapt the duration of an audio recording to the duration of multimedia stimulus content presented on the same trial as the audio response.  
 
The new feature allows researchers to specify the duration of a background audio response relative to the duration of a separate stimulus on the same trial (e.g., an audio or video stimulus). This can be particularly useful when your audio stimulus files vary in duration, and you would like to record participants adaptively - longer for longer stimuli and shorter for shorter stimuli.
 
This new property will work in conjunction with a new feature -- stimulus group -- which allows researchers to  define the group of audio stimuli to which the audio recording duration will be adjusted.  For example, when the duration of a background audio response is set as follows:

Hello!
I want to conduct a self-paced reading study.
On each screen, a paragraph of about 100 words will appear and this will be presented using tokenized_text stimuli.
But then when I do a preview, a sentence is presented to the end of the right side so that I have to move the scrollbar to the right. I think this can confuse or bother the participants while they participate in this experiment.
Is there any way I can make each token appear in the fixed domain?
Below is the one stimuli that I used:
{
  "type": "tokenized_text",
  "content": "Time moved on - and he already felt - he was - couple's -son. - He could not be happier. - His new -parents - did not treat him - like a -prisoner - or a - servant, - but loved him. - Now he had a younger brother. - He had no -choice - but to love this -baby. - He also had - plenty of - food - to eat. - His life as a -worker - was really over. - He did not miss - the angry -master - and he did not miss - his old -place - either. - He had even forgotten - he ever lived there. - There was only one thing - he missed from his old life. - He missed his friends. - He thought about them -every day. - Maybe one day - he would go back - and visit them.",
  "alignment": "left",
  "mode": "masked",
  "mask_char": "_",
  "self_paced": true
}

Thanks!

Hello,

I was wondering how I could change my code so that the participant can see that a response has been recorded (for example the response box turns a different color) without feedback (the participant does not know whether they chose the correct answer or not).

We are aware of an issue where some audio stimuli may not play in either preview or a production session. This issue began today, April 20, 2021.

We have identified the cause and the fix will be applied tomorrow, April 21, 2021. Previewing your study may be required in order to launch a new session after this fix is live.

I'd like to check on something: 
The FAQs say this:
To what extent does FindingFive remove identifiable personal information?

Once a study session is finished, you will be able to download participant data. Each participant will be identified by a special ID, non-reversably generated from their real FindingFive ID and your researcher FindingFive ID. As a result, each participant will have a persistent ID in the studies of the same researcher, but that ID differs between researchers, and does not exist in our database at all.
So, if I do a multi-part study where participants return for multiple sessions, the generated ID for each participant will be the same across each session they participate in. Is that correct? I'm asking because I need to be able to compare participant A's scores in the first session with their scores in the second session. I think that is what this is saying, but I wanted to make sure. Thank you.

Dear Researchers,

We have just been informed by our upstream provider of a database outage that has unfortunately led to partial loss of uploaded stimulus files. While the occurrence of such incidents is completely out of our control, we are assessing and implementing new measures for avoiding similar issues in the future. At this point, our analysis indicates that this will only affect you if you:

• Have collaborators who use identically named stimulus files across different FindingFive accounts.
  
• Use the US server (the EU server is not affected)
