manuscript
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.
Text edit
get a better overview
Navigating in interviews can be challenging. Waveforms are extremely useful for visualising the sound but not the context.
Hindenburg now offers audio editing with text.
Select the text as you would in a word document and see you edits being done in the audio.
Cut areas out for making the interview stand out.
Copy highlight of the text and ad it to the clipboard.
Export text
as metadata
Text can not only be used for editing the audio, but also for adding meta data to your show.
This could be for show notes or as a transcription of your podcast.
Hindenburg will be supporting the most common text / transcription export formats

You can adjust the placement and size of the manuscript pane so it best suits your needs.

selections
words and sentences
As you play the audio the text will be highlighted. The word currently highlighted can be edited immediately. If you would like to edit and entire sentence, then you can create a selection over multiple words. Selection works in the same way as if would do in a word document. The only difference is that the selection will cover entire words.
