Personally I thought the reading speed was fine. Snappy enough to keep my interest, and slow enough to be clear and not sound hurried.

Great tip to double-click the sliders for fine control. ... I would agree this isn't really expected. What else could be done in the space to make it more discoverable isn't so obvious. It would be a bit tiresome to say "double-click for fine adjustment" in the tooltip, I think. Right-cli...

Right now, I use the left and right bracket keys to select the audio, When you have selected the audio, press Ctrl+B then press the "ENTER" key. This will mark the selected region with a label. Then press the right cursor key. This will move the playback cursor to the end of the section t...

Currently, I'm thinking a setup like this: mic -> laptop (plays mp3s) -> amp -> speakers.
