Figure 1: In-situ voice-based multimedia authoring (IVA) workflow and usage scenarios. Top: John loves sharing his experiences online. In his trip to Paris, John is amazed by the magnificent Eiffel Tower (1 A). He starts to describe the tower with his feelings while taking pictures of it (2 A) and narrate the moments with the taken pictures (3 A) through LiveSnippets; a mobile app that supports IVA. His voice is transcribed into text and saved together with the photo and contextual information (e.g. time, location, etc.) into snippets that can be edited later (4). At the end of the visit, a draft travel blog can be generated from the snippets with a simple button click (5 A). Bottom: Mary loves sharing her cooking experiences through recipes. While preparing a dish, she launches the recipe authoring program in LiveSnippets (1 B). The app starts to ask her a series of questions including the name, style, ingredients, steps of the dish, etc. Mary answers the questions one by one (2 B), taking photos/videos as needed while cooking (3 B). Later she rearranges and edits the snippets (4) before generating a recipe to share online (5 B).
