Then it would go right into that FTP site to open a folder. You can add a folder from your network or from an FTP site. Here in this box, you can have certain search folders already set up. You can also drag and drop a file into the player. This is how you can go look for a certain file you want to load. Now, at the bottom here is 'Open,' and that's to open a file. You could just speed it up a little bit or slow it down a little bit while you're playing to find that spot. It also helps if you're looking for a spot within the transcript. Then, if you have someone who is speaking very fast, you could slow the speed down a little bit. Why you might need that is if someone is talking very slowly, you might want to up the speed a bit so that it's easier to type. Then, by sliding the bar up, you're speeding up the speed of the audio file, and then slowing it down. When you're in the center here, that means it's normal speed. What's nice, again, about that is if you can hear someone very faintly on one channel, you can lower the volume on the other channel and up the volume on that one channel so you could hear someone better who may be possibly speaking over one another. You would mute it by clicking on the green to make it red. What's nice about that is when you have a recording that has several channels, you can lower the volume on one or mute it. Now, with TheRecordPlayer, it has up to eight channels. Again, you would just click on it and then move it.

This here is a volume, your master volume, and you can slide that up and down. This here, the 08:42, that's the length of the audio file, so it runs 8 minutes, 42 seconds. Whatever your audio file's title is, that will display right here. Then, this 'Untitled 18,' that's the title of this audio file. I can scoot on over towards the end, towards the beginning, or what have you.

And, as you'll see, the time at the top will change. Here is the activity bar, so if I click on this button and hold it down, I can move. Again, this is the start time, so it's a clock time, not a running time starting at zero. We'll go over these in a little bit more detail in just a second. Then you have your display help, to minimize this-another words to push it towards your bottom bar-and then X it to X out of it - to close this program. Off to the right here, this first tab is to open the properties, to minimize or compact the view. And, it's going to give the date, either from the time that you downloaded the audio file and the time-the date and time of the download-or if you're getting this from a court reporter that's something like a TRM file, it likely will be the date and time that the recording began of the court proceeding. So, your time stamps aren't going to really work well for this. Okay, so the number one thing here is it's not going to start at zero. First, it's giving me a date and a clock time. Let's just do a quick walkthrough from the top to bottom.

It's called The Record Player, FTR, For the Record, any of those names. That is what you're going to click on to download. And, here, under 'Downloads,' it has FTR Player 5.7. In order to get this player, you need to go to You'll scroll down to the bottom. Today I'm going to quickly cover the transcription player from.
