The Export Button allows you to export in four ways:

When exporting audio you can select whether to export with changes to your playback settings (this is on by default); Speed (excluding export as video), Volume, Audio Clean-Up settings and Voice Shift.
 

1. Audio As Album
2. Album to iTunes
3. Save Selected Audio
4. Text and Images

Audio As Album

With Export → Audio as Album you can save your project as an album, so that you can access it on your mobile phone or portable music player. It is saved into a folder named according to the Title tag field (see Tagging). In a music player this will be displayed as the Album title.
 

Each section is saved as follows:
 

• The first line of the Text Pane is used to name the audio file. This in effect becomes the Track name in a music player.
• The Image Pane is embedded in the audio file. However, be aware that some media players will only display the image of the first track in an album.

If you use iTunes, you can avoid the extra step of importing it into iTunes afterwards by using Export → Album to iTunes to export directly; see the next section.
 

Exporting Album to iTunes

With Export → Album to iTunes you can save your project as an album and automatically import it in to iTunes. Your file is saved into a folder named according to the Title tag field (see Tagging). This will be displayed as the Album title.
 

Each section is then saved as follows:
 

• The Audio Pane is written as an audio track.
• The first line of the Text Pane is used to name the audio file. This in effect becomes the track name.
• The full Text and Reference Panes will be added as lyrics.
• The Image Pane is embedded in the audio file as track artwork.

The audio quality is determined by your import settings in iTunes.
 

Save Selected Audio

If you select any or all of the chunks in the Audio Pane, you can save them to a single audio file using Export → Save Selected Audio. You can save the audio as m4a, wav or opus. By selecting all the audio, this command allows you to use Audio Notetaker as an audio editor, as you can save to (and overwrite) the original audio file name. Of course you should never try to do this if you have set your Embedded/Linked setting to Linked.
 

If you choose wav as your export format, you will get a 16-bit PCM file, even if your original recording was in a compressed or 24-bit PCM wav format. This exporting system gives maximum compatibility with other programs, including dictation software.


You will be able to use the export options above to create an audio file and upload to your preferred transcription service, and then import the text transcription.
