D:Scribe User Handbook
Saving Transcriptions
Once you have completed the transcription for the current audio clip be
sure to save the text you have entered. The saved transcription will be
automatically associated with the audio clip, and will be available for
later retrieval.
It is recommended that you save your transcription at regular intervals
to reduce the risk of lost input due to systems errors. To save the
transcription, press the ‘Save’ button on the transcription toolbar.
Cut, Copy and Paste
The standard editing tools of Cut, (Ctrl + X), Copy (Ctrl + C), and Paste
(Ctrl + V), are available from the transcription toolbar.
Compact Player
If you wish to playback audio material without the need for the
transcription window, select ‘View->Compact’ from the menu.
The small player gives you control over the audio playout, volume
control and use of the foot pedal control.
To return to the full window for track selection, select ‘View->Normal’
from the menu.
