Managing Audio Notes
Audio notes are saved per project, so each project has its own independent set of recordings. You can accumulate as many notes as you need while working through a transcription.
Pro feature: Audio notes require a Pro subscription.
Note Icons on the Waveform
Recorded notes appear as blue speaker icons on the waveform at their timestamps. Icon size is 16pt, with a 44x44pt tap target. Icons auto-space with a minimum 44pt gap so they never overlap.
Navigating to a Note
Each audio note is anchored to a specific position in the track:
- Quick tap a speaker icon (< 0.3 seconds) to jump the playhead to that position and open the playback popover
- This lets you quickly revisit any moment you flagged during an earlier session
Moving a Note
Long-press + drag a speaker icon (hold 0.3 seconds or more, then drag) to reposition it on the timeline. The icon scales to 1.2x during the drag. Release to drop at the new timestamp position.
Deleting Notes
To remove a note you no longer need:
- Tap the speaker icon on the waveform to open the playback popover
- Tap the trash icon (red) in the popover
- A confirmation dialog appears: “Delete Audio Note?” — tap the destructive Delete button to confirm
Deleting a note removes both the icon and the underlying M4A file. This action cannot be undone, so make sure you no longer need the recording before confirming.
Notes Are Per Project
Audio notes belong to the project they were created in. If you duplicate a project, the audio notes are copied along with it, giving you separate sets you can edit independently.
Tip: Use audio notes as a running commentary on your progress — record a quick note each session describing what you’ve figured out and what’s still unclear. It makes it much easier to pick up where you left off.
