Button Setup

The Button Setup Screen provides a way to customize the button functions. The setup is divided into

four tabs--Home, Idle, Record, and Playback. Each represents a mode of operation. Each button can

be defined for each mode. When Audacity is launched, the Audacity Home Screen displays. The

recorded file list shows. This is the Home mode. There is no open file in the Home Mode. The other

three modes have a specific file open. In the Idle mode, a file is open, but idle.

The Button Setup is programmable for each of the four modes. It affects both the Soft Buttons / Icons

and also the associated hardware buttons. Setting a specific function for one of the 4 or 6 (on Treo

products) buttons will change the icon for that button and also the function of the associated screen

and hardware buttons.

Using Button Setup, an author can customize Audacity Pro for very easy one-handed operation. You

can set any of the 4 or 6 buttons to trigger an event. For instance, you can set a button to delete a file,

open the alarm menu, jump to your contact list to pull in an email address, and many other very

powerful functions.

Here is an example of the power of the Button Setup combined with the database function of the

Audacity Pro Plus product. Dr Jones uses the Audacity database feature to display his daily schedule

and pertinent information about his patients. Audacity Audio interfaced his Audacity Professional Plus

Recorder to his patient scheduling program. When Dr. Jones wants to view his current schedule he

presses one button to launch Audacity. He presses one more button to view his daily schedule. He

can scroll through his schedule and select an entry and view all the pertinent information about that

patient. One more button press and he is recording his notes. The encounter number and other

pertinent info is automatically incorporated into the file for his office staff. It's all one-handed and uses

a minimal number of button presses. If you would like help in setting up an application like this for you,

just send an email to Sales@AudacityAudio.com.
