Using the audio bar

The audio bar displays the status of the current audio recording playback. You can use the buttons on the audio bar to control audio functions instead of using the buttons on the dictation microphone.

During audio playback, the slider bar will show the progress of the playback and the current position in the audio file against the total length. The times to the right of the slider show elapsed playback time and the total time of the recording.

Use the buttons to control dictation/playback functions.

  • Start Recording: Click to begin recording dictation. The button icon will turn red while recording is in progress.

  • Move Audio to Beginning: During playback, rewind to the beginning of the current dictation file (Narrative mode only). Rewind: Rewind the current dictation file (Narrative mode only).

  • Stop: Stop or pause the playback/recording of the current dictation file (Narrative mode only) Start: Play the current dictation file (Narrative mode only)

  • Fast Forward: Fast forward the current dictation file (Narrative mode only).

  • Move Audio to End: During playback, fast-forward to the end of the current dictation file (Narrative mode only).
