D:Scribe User Handbook
Transport Controls
D:Scribe MiniPlayer has a simple user interface for controlling playback of audio. Play, Stop,
Forward and Reverse are commonly supported on media players.
Trackbar
In addition to these, MiniPlayer presents the user with the Trackbar that can be used to
quickly move backwards and forwards through many hours of recordings. The trackbar is
marked at 15 - minute intervals.
Volume Control
The playback volume control is present on the right of the screen, and controls the left and
right output of D:Scribe Miniplayer.
Playback
D:Scribe MiniPlayer is primarily designed for the playback of BWF audio files archived
from a Sonifex Net-Log audio logger. The time displayed on the left of the window
represents the starting time of the recording selected (assuming a BWF recording),
whilst the time on the right of the screen represents the current end of the recording.
Should the recording be ongoing during playback, this ‘end-time’ will change to represent
the latest audio available. The time displayed in the centre of the screen is the recorded
time of the current playback position.
Individual non-archived audio files can also be played using MiniPlayer. Select ‘Open Other’
from the menu and choose your audio files using the standard ‘Open File’ dialogue.
MS-Word Integration.
If MS-Word is installed on your computer, D:Scribe MiniPlayer can paste links to the
currently playing audio directly into an open document. The links appear as small
graphics which act as hyperlinks back to the audio. Clicking on the link graphic in MS-Word
will run D:Scribe MiniPlayer (if not already running) and open the audio file at the point
when the link was activated.
To insert a link into an open MS-Word document during playback, press Shift and Insert
(Shift+INS) together on your keyboard.
