Is it possible to copy the selection start and end times?

Post by Yusuf » Thu Oct 06, 2011 1:35 pm

I have a need to copy the selection start /end times to an excel spreadsheet. Of course, I can do it manually, but this is more error prone as you are dealing will 1000's of a second etc.

However, I cannot select in these fields. Any idea about this?

If you create a label at the selection you should be able to File > Export Labels ... to an Excel spredsheet which should give you the timings you require.

See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Label_Tracks

and: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/File_Menu

Thank you. I tested this is out and it works perfect. It will save me a bunch of time and now I can label the complete track for future use and editing.
