I forgot to hyphenate the transcription, how do I divide the words in the editor?

How to fix missing hyphenation and divide words into syllables in the editor?

Splitting a word

Splitting turns one word region into two separately timed regions.

This is used in situations where we have forgotten to hyphenate a word while making a transcription and have to divide the word into shorter and longer syllables in the editor.

Press S with the playhead inside a region:

  • While playing — the word will be divided by the cursor and you have to manually fix the divination of the text in the word regions.

  • While paused — the word editing opens and you can place the insertion point to where you want to divide the word and press enter. Now it will automatically divide the word into ready syllables with the text divided as well.

    Example of pressing S while playback paused:

    1. Word we want to divide where the cursor is:

    2. After pressing S and the text divination edit opens:

    3. Finding the place where I want to divide the word with the insertion point:

    4. After pressing enter the region is divided where the red cursor is and word was divided where we placed the insertion point.
