(either a microphone, line input or play mixer) selected using the
"Record Mixer" in the lower left of this grid. |

Note: This requires the relevant media codecs to be installed on your computer. Some example formats include sound files (mp3, ogg, wma) and videos (mpeg-2, divx and wmv.) |
Record Troubleshooting: Please check the microphone is on, has batteries and is unmuted (if relevant), and the volume is turned up and selected as the recording input (see lower left of the above grid.)
Editor Right Click Menu
- Speak: See above.
- Play Media: See above.
- Record Media: See above.
- Cut: Cuts (copies and deletes) the selected text to the clipboard. This cannot be undone due to internal limitations. Note that multiple selections are possible by holding down the "ctrl" or "shift" buttons while clicking on cells with the left mouse button.
- Copy: Copies the selected text to the clipboard.
- Paste: Pastes text from the clipboard. Tab-delimited data is automatically formatted when copying from other applications, for example Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice.org Calc
- Paste Special...: Pastes text in a different order than ordinary Paste (above), allowing columns to be swapped. Useful, for example, for switching the 'Readings' with the 'Word' column to allow searching for PinYin in addition to Chinese Hanzi in Chinese Mandarin.
- Delete: Deletes the selected rows. This cannot be undone!
- Insert: Inserts rows after the cursor selection (i.e. the cell with the dark border
around it.) Multiple can be inserted at once by selecting the number of
rows you want to insert.
Warning: Inserting at the end (towards the bottom) of very large dictionaries (tens or hundreds of thousands of entries) will be fast. However, inserting towards the beginning of such dictionaries may be extremely slow and cause Flazzle to become unstable! - Select All: Selects all rows in the dictionary.
- Properties...: Changes dictionary-specific options, for example descriptions, inputs, columns, character popup definitions and language.
Find and Replace
The find and replace dialog allows finding and replacing of text. Note that the wildcards "_" matches one character, so "ca_" will match cat and "%" matches multiple, so "cat%" will find "category" etc. The document cannot be edited while using this dialog to allow rollback, so that if the document has changed, so you can optionally revert changes when the "Close" button is pressed.
