audio edit with text
Once your audio is transcribed, you now can edit it just like a text document in the Manuscript window. Intelligent voice recognition identifies each voice in your audio and separates them in the manuscript, to give you an overview of your interview. Transcription information is also included at the top of each Region in the Workspace for easy navigation. When your project is finished, your Manuscript can be exported.

Navigating in interviews can be challenging. Waveforms are extremely useful for visualising the sound but not the context.
