Running an edit command

You can edit audio data. The method is similar to editing text in a word processor:

Select the range you want to edit.

Choose the required Edit menu item.

To cut a section of a prompt

Select the range of the prompt that you want to remove.

From the Edit menu, choose Cut, or click the Cut button on the main toolbar.

The prompt section is cut from the prompt and placed on the Clipboard. The rest of the prompt is shifted back to fill in the gap, similar to deleting text in a word processor.

To copy a section of a prompt

Select the range of the prompt that you want to copy.

From the Edit menu, choose Copy, or click the Copy button on the main toolbar.

A copy of the prompt section is placed on the Clipboard.


Tips: To move quickly to a specified prompt, choose the Goto command from the Edit menu. To toggle an edit on or off in order to see its effect, choose the Undo command from the Edit menu. To remove any unused space in the prompt file, choose the Compact command from the File menu on finishing a recording or editing session.

To paste the contents of the Clipboard into a prompt

Pasting audio data applies to the Waveform and Comment views only. Visual Voice Editor prevents pasting data not intended for that view. For example, you cannot paste text into Waveform view.

Select the prompt in which you want to paste the Clipboard contents.

Select the point where you want to paste.

From the Edit menu, choose Paste, or click the Paste button on the main toolbar.

The Clipboard contents are inserted at the desired point. Data after that point is shifted to the right, similar to inserting text in a word processor.

To trim a prompt

Trimming a prompt deletes all data except the selected range. This is useful for eliminating leading or trailing silence at the beginning and end of a prompt:

Select the range of prompt, excluding any unwanted data at the beginning and end.

From the Edit menu, choose Trim.

All data except for the selected range. Nothing is placed on the Clipboard.
