![]() ![]() The closest solution that I have been able to find so far is LiquidText, a super handy digital annotation application (compatible with both Apple and Windows). I wanted something that enables me to map out the passages that I’ve highlighted in a text in structures and networks, in a way that is possible with a pen and a piece of paper. I desperately needed a tool that could help me consolidate my digital annotations and margin notes in a more “at-a-glance” kind of way. There is no way to see how your annotations connect to each other, unless you map them out on a piece of paper and/or write them out in a fresh document. Of course, you can review all of your editorial changes in the “comments” section, but they are listed out again, in a linear fashion. After you have finished reading and annotating the text, all of the highlights and sticky notes can only be reviewed linearly within the text, as you scroll through dozens if not hundreds of pages. We would perhaps use the “highlight text” function to make certain parts of the text stand out, and we would perhaps click on “add sticky note” to add some notes here and there. When we read and annotate a digital text, let’s say a PDF, most of us would open the file via Adobe Acrobat. This is also the first post on how I created a digital workflow system for myself that works, as well as tips on how to set up one for yourself. In this post, I will introduce how I use LiquidText, a very useful application for annotating digital texts (such as PDFs and Microsoft Word documents). ![]() The Digital Orientalist’s Virtual Workshop and Conference 2021Ī while ago, I wrote a piece arguing that we, as researchers in the humanities, need a better system to streamline academic digital workflow from reading to writing.Digital Orientalist’s 2022 Conference “Infrastructures”.The DO 2023 Conference: schedule and abstracts. ![]()
