Adjust playback speed with by clicking on the provided audio rate buttons.
Hotkeys can use arbitrary modifiers, such as home row keys instead of 'shift' and 'control'.
Example given: hotkey combination "<s>;" performs an ausio seek forward by 5 seconds. To activate this, hold down the "S" key and hit the "semicolon" key. Such an action will erase any S's left in the transcript in the process.
This is a strange way to do hotkeys, but the usual key modifiers aren't exactly in the home row.
<shift>spacebar or <a>spacebar toggle play/pause
<F5> to cycle through speaker labels at the end.
<F7>, <F8> to slow down or speed up audio by 3 percent
<ctrl>s to save next to the audio file, e.g. "audio.mp3.txt"
<ctrl>e, to <e>xport in .doc format. (requires unoconv)
<ctrl>q to quit
<ctrl>z to recover from traumatic deletions
<ctrl>y to redo undone traumatic deletions
<shift>leftarrow, <shift>rightarrow relative seek to -2,+2 seconds.
<s>j, <s>k, <s>l, <s>; relative seek to -5,-1,+1,+5 seconds.
<a>s, to <s>eek in Audio to cursor position.
<t>s, to <s>eek in Text to audio position.
