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.

Click the required Edit menu item.

To cut a section of a prompt:

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

Click Edit > Cut, or click the Cut icon.

Visual Voice Editor cuts the section from the prompt and places it on the Clipboard. Visual Voice Editor then shifts the rest of the prompt 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.

Click Edit > Copy, or click the Copy icon.

Visual Voice Editor places a copy of the prompt section on the Clipboard.


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

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.

Click Edit > Paste, or click the Paste icon.

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.

Click Edit > Trim.

Visual Voice Editor deletes all data except for the selected range. Nothing is placed on the Clipboard.
