Special features

Unit boundaries

You can add unit boundaries using a shortcut (default ALT + S) or the button. If you move the mouse over the boundary its timestamp is shown. Further more you can click on the boundary to play the transcription unit on the left side. To delete a unit boundary just remove the orange boundary from the text.

Transcription units in OCTRA are defined by their boundary on the right. A transcript consists of at least one transcription unit (the last unit boundary is invisible). You can imagine the audio sequence as one transcription unit. If you split it, OCTRA splits the transcription unit into two transcription units and so on.
