I am wondering how to find a certain sound within an audio? I have a 20 hours audio book which has a word that is incorrect throughout the audiobook. I would like to be able to select that word and asks Audacity to find similar sound signatures. The word is repeated the same way throughout the book. So no significant variation in terms of pitch, speed … Is it still not possible on Audacity?
No, and what are you going to do if Audacity finds them all? Where are you going to get the replacement words from? How are you going to make each replacement word match the pitch, metre, character, and rhythm of the original?
Plunking a replacement word in the middle of a sentence and still have it sound natural is not fun.

Nor is reading the book again which is what I think you’re looking at. Are you a Reader-For-Hire? Did the client catch the error?
I did think of a desperation method locator. Open the electronic version of the book and use search to find all the occurrences of the word. That may give you the location and/or page number of the error.
I did notice that my local version of Library Access refuses to give me page numbers. I complained about that.
“If the goal of digital access is to replace walking to the branch and taking out the actual book, y’all missed a step.”
