SOT

You can add SOT text to a Broadcast story to indicate the portions of a story that come from a recording and that the anchor does not read. By default, Inception displays SOT text in green to set the it apart from the story text. The Read Word Count for a story does not include SOT text.

To add SOT text to a Broadcast story

  1. In the Story Editor screen, tap in the story text at the location to start entering SOT text in the open Broadcast story.

  2. In the Text Formatting toolbar, tap SOT.

    The SOT button turns dark gray img to indicate that you are working in SOT text mode.

  3. Type the text for the SOT segment.

    Inception formats the text that you type with the SOT text color set on your Inception system. Green is the default SOT text color.

  4. To exit SOT text mode, tap SOT.

    Inception now formats typed text as regular story text. The SOT button turns light gray img to indicate that you are working in regular story text mode.

  5. You can delete, cut, copy, and paste SOT text in the same manner as you do story text.

  6. To format existing story text as SOT text, select the story text to format as SOT text and then tap SOT.

    Before you start typing regular story text, remember to tap SOT to exit SOT text mode.
