Records

A record in the Session Editor represents a single utterance. Each record contains tier data for one speaker, including the orthographic transcription, IPA transcriptions, segment times, and any additional tiers.

Records are displayed sequentially in the transcript, each preceded by a record number on the left margin. The current record is indicated in the record toolbar at the top of the transcript.

Navigate Records

Use the record toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts to navigate between records:

First record — Ctrl+Shift+P (macOS) / Alt+Shift+P (Windows)
Previous record — Cmd+[
Next record — Cmd+]
Last record — Ctrl+Shift+N (macOS) / Alt+Shift+N (Windows)
Go to record — Type the record number in the record field and press Enter

You can also click directly on any record in the transcript to navigate to it.
