In AmCAT, articles are '''coded manually''' in the '''Annotator'''. When you open the annotator, you first see a '''list of coding jobs''' – articles to code–  '''assigned to you'''.

Some useful '''shortcuts''' for coding:
  
* '''Tab''': Jump to the next coding field. When there are variables that use a list of categories ('''[[3.3:create codebooks|codebooks]]'''), use the '''↓ and  ↑  keys''' to select a value from the list and press tab to jump to the next field. This way you can code quickly.

Coding on the sentence level – for coding '''individual sentences or parts of sentences''' within a document -- works much the same as on the [[3.3:coding|article level]]. Again, you fill out coding fields for each variable, and it depends on the type of variable what you can enter in each field.

However, for sentence codings, the '''coding fields''' look like a '''table''', where the different '''variables''' are listed in the '''columns'''. Each row represents a sentence or unit to code. At first, the sentence codings field is empty, save for one row of empty cells. In the first column, you pick the corresponding '''sentence number''' for each sentence you code. These sentence numbers are shown in the text on the right side of the screen. When you enter a sentence number, AmCAT will display the corresponding sentence above the current row of coding fields, so you can code it more easily. Use '''tab''' and '''shift + tab''' to move between coding fields, and '''↓ or ↑''' to select a value from a list for codebook variables.
