The recording page is where you create your Web Dictate recordings or edit existing recordings. A screenshot of the recording window is shown below.

The different parts of the recording window are as follows:

1. File menu - access all the main options such as Play, Record, Stop, Rewind and Fast Forward.
2. Save - saves the current dictation and puts it in the "Existing Dictations" folder.
3. Send - sends the current dictation to the specified recipient in the "Recipients" section. If the send was successful, the file will be put in the "Sent Dictations" list, otherwise it will go in the "Existing Dictations" folder.
4. Cancel - cancel out of the recording page and discard the current dictation.
5. The filename of the current dictation.
6. The current position in the dictation.
7. Total duration of the current dictation.

8. Recording Method - when you click the pull-down menu to the right of this label, you can select where the audio will be inserted when you click Record.

   • Append - the new recording is added to the end of the dictation.
   • Overwrite - the new recording commences from the very start of the dictation.
   • Insert - the new recording starts at the current position in the dictation.

9. This is the seeker/slider bar. It lets you navigate through to any point in your recording.
10. The volume display lets you see the changing volume levels of your voice as you are making the recording. If this display is not moving, it means that nothing is being recorded.
