Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on “Text tool features” using Inkscape.
00:06	In this tutorial we will learn about
00:09	Manual kerning
00:10	Spell checking
00:12	Super-script
00:13	Sub-script
00:15	To record this tutorial, I am using
00:17	Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS
00:20	Inkscape version 0.48.4
00:24	I will be recording this tutorial in maximum resolution mode. This is to accommodate all the tools that will be demonstrated.
00:33	Let us open Inkscape.
00:35	Earlier in the series, we learnt to create and format text using the Text tool.
00:40	Now, we will learn some important features of the Text tool. Click on it
00:45	Let us start with Manual kerning.
00:48	Horizontal kerning, Vertical shift and Character rotation are called manual kerns.
00:54	Type the word “Spoken”.
00:58	Keep the cursor after the alphabet “S”.
01:01	Horizontal kerning adds space after the selected letter.
01:05	Click on the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the space between the letters “S” and “p”.
01:13	Notice that the space is introduced only between the letters “S” and “p”.
01:19	Let me keep the Horizontal kerning parameter as 3.
01:24	The next icon, i.e. Vertical shift, shifts the letters after the selected letter, up or down.
01:30	Click on the up and down arrows.
01:34	Observe the letters after the cursor have shifted up and down.
01:39	Keep this parameter as 15.
01:42	Next, we will rotate our characters using Character rotation.
01:47	This icon rotates only a single character which is right after the cursor.
01:51	So, place the cursor before the letter “e”.
01:55	Click on the up and down arrows of Character rotation and observe that the letter “e” rotates.
02:02	To apply the kerns to more than one character, select the characters first then give the values.
02:09	Let me select the letters “p” and “o” and give Horizontal kerning parameter as 5
02:17	Vertical shift parameter as 10 and
02:21	Character rotation parameter as 20.
02:24	Observe the changes.
02:26	To remove the kerns, go to Text menu.
02:29	Click on Remove Manual Kerns.
02:32	Manual Kerns can be used only in Regular text.
02:35	In Flowed text, these options will be disabled.
02:39	To check, create a text box.
02:43	Observe the Manual kerns options are now disabled.
02:47	Press Ctrl + Z to undo this action.
02:51	Next we will learn about Spell check feature.
02:54	To explain the Spell check feature, I will copy text from LibreOffice writer that I had saved already.
03:01	Press Ctrl + A to select the entire text and then press Ctrl + C to copy it.
03:08	Now come back to Inkscape.
03:10	Click on the canvas and press Ctrl + V to paste the text.
03:15	Go to Text menu and click on Check Spelling option.
03:19	A new dialog box appears.
03:22	All text is checked, regardless of whether it is selected or not.
03:27	When a suspect word is found, it will be highlighted with a red box and the cursor will be placed before the text.
03:33	A list of suggestions appears for the word “http”.
03:37	Since the spelling is correct we will add this word to the dictionary.
03:41	To do so, click on Add to Dictionary button.
03:45	This will cause the spell checker to accept the word as correctly spelled always.
03:50	Next, the word “tutorial” is highlighted.
03:53	Since the spelling is wrong, select the correct word from the suggestion list, which is “tutorial”.
03:59	Now click on “Accept” button.
04:02	If you click on Ignore, all other similarly spelled words in the document will get ignored.
04:08	If you click on Ignore once, the word will get ignored only once i.e first time only.
04:14	If you want to stop the spell-checking process, click on Stop.
04:18	We can restart the process by clicking the Start button.
04:22	Spell checking will begin with the text at the top-right and work down the canvas.
04:27	Let us close this dialog box now and keep this text aside.
04:32	Next, we will learn to write Superscript and Subscript.
04:36	Type the mathematical formula (a+b)2 = a2+b2+2ab.(a + b whole square is equal to a sqaure plus b square plus 2ab )
04:44	We have to change the number 2 as square in three places.
04:48	Select the first 2. Go to Tool controls bar. Click on Toggle Superscript icon.
04:56	In a similar way, change the remaining 2s.
04:59	Next, we will write a chemical formula using subscript.
05:04	So, type “H2SO4”.
05:07	Here 2 and 4 should be written as subscripts.
05:11	First select 2. Go to Tool controls bar and click on Toggle Subscript icon.
05:17	In a similar way change the 4.
05:19	Let us summarize.
05:21	In this tutorial we have learnt
05:24	Manual kerning
05:25	Spell checking
05:26	Super-script
05:27	Sub-script
05:29	Here are 2 assignments for you
05:31	Write the text “How are you” and change the font size to 75
05:36	Keep the cursor next to “w”. Change Horizontal kerning parameter to -20.
05:42	Select the words “are”. Change the Vertical shift parameter to 40.
05:47	Select the words “you”. Change the Character rotation parameter to -30.
05:52	Write the following formulae using Sub-script and Super-script options
05:57	Silver sulfate - Ag₂SO₄2.
06:00	a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)
06:06	Your completed assignment should look like this.
06:09	The video available at the following link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Pls watch it.
06:15	The Spoken Tutorial Project Team conducts workshops and gives certificates for those who pass an online test.
06:22	For more details, please write to us.
06:24	Spoken Tutorial Project is supported by the NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India.
06:30	More information on this Mission is available at this link.
06:34	We have come to the end of this tutorial.
06:36	This is Arthi and Priya from IIT Bombay, signing off. Thanks for joining.
