Judy,
Thanks for initiating this - as a user this would be very helpful.
I suggest changing the wording of "Media Description", because I don't
think a description of their media is the real question - if we wanted
them to describe the media, we need to provide other options. If not
checked, it seems like they are failing to provide a description.
Instead, we're really asking how they want the media processed, right?
So another way to ask is this:
Media Processing Options:
[ ] Segment media by slides or scene changes
[ ] Process text on each segment (video OCR)<-- (only available if the
previous option selected)
I realize I just complicated things by breaking this into 2 processes,
which may not be possible. But in my use, I've often wanted to have the
media segmented, but not have OCR done. For example, a produced video
with several scenes but no text; a VGA stream from a document camera of
a diagram or mathematical content. It would be nice to select one
without the other.
Hope that's helpful!
Michelle

We've heard a number of complaints about (and seen in user testing) how confusing the
Media Type dropdown is (this is the control where you choose Presenter or Presentation,
aka "flavors").
I'm proposing a minor change to make this clearer to new users.

Would appreciate comments, suggestions for improved wording. If you're a user
(or have watched users use the admin UI) does the text make more sense? If
you're a developer, am I misrepresenting?
tia,
Judy
