NAME audiotool - audio play/record tool SYNOPSIS audiotool [ -p ] [ -d device ] [ generic-tool-arguments ] [ audio-file ... ] DESCRIPTION Audio Tool is an OpenWindows DeskSet application for record- ing, playing, and simple editing of audio data. Sound Segment Display Audio Tool analyzes sound data to distinguish between sound segments and silence segments. Segments of sounds are displayed as boxes; segments of silence are displayed as lines connecting these boxes. This type of display can be useful for scanning and editing voice data, since pauses often indicate breaks between sentences or key phrases. Data may be selected, using the mouse, in a manner similar to text selections. Double-clicking on a sound or silence segment selects the entire segment. The Cut, Copy, and Paste operations also work on selected data. A triangular graphic indicator, called the position pointer, marks the current play position. When you select a segment of audio data, the position pointer is constrained to remain within the selected segment. The position pointer also denotes the point in a segment where Record and Paste opera- tions will insert data. Control Panel Play/Stop Clicking this button starts playing audio data at the current position. Playing will stop automatically at the end of the data or at the end of the currently selected segment, whichever comes first. If the posi- tion pointer is at the end of the data (or selection) when Play is pressed, it jumps back to the beginning of the data before starting to play. While data is playing, this button becomes a Stop but- ton. Audio output may be stopped and restarted at will. Rewind/Fast-Forward Clicking either of these buttons causes the position pointer to jump backward or forward to the next sound segment boundary. If you press and hold one of these buttons, playing will begin/proceed at an accelerated rate in the designated direction. Releasing the button returns the tool to its previous state. Record/Stop Clicking this button starts the recording of data from the audio input port. The recorded data is inserted at the position pointer's position. If audio data is currently selected, it is replaced by the new record- ing. While recording is in progress, this button becomes a Stop button. File Browser Panel Selecting Open..., Save As..., or Include... from the File menu will bring up the File Browser Panel. The Directory field displays the pathname of the current directory. The scrolling list contains a list of directories or audio files in the displayed directory. Double-click SELECT on the name of a directory to change to that directory. Double- click SELECT on the name of an audio file to perform the current operation (Load, Save, or Include) on the selected file. You can also type file names or directories into the Name field. When Save As... is selected from the File menu, the File Browser displays an additional choice item, which enables you to select the file format. The choices are Uncompressed (8-bit 8 kHz, u-law), or Compressed (4-bit G.721 ADPCM). The compressed format takes up half the disk space but can take somewhat longer to load and save. Volume Panels Selecting Play... or Record... from the Volume menu will invoke the Audio Control application to display volume con- trol panels for the audio device. Refer to the audiocon- trol(1) manual page for further details. OPTIONS -p Play all files listed on the command line at startup.
