    What it does

    Plays a passage slower or faster without changing its pitch, so you can hear what is in it and then work back up to speed.

    A and B are the drag handles on the waveform; their flags sit in the top strip, and a drag starting there always takes the nearer one. Playback is bounded by A–B whether or not Loop is on — Loop decides whether it comes back to A, not whether B means anything. Tap elsewhere on the waveform to jump.

    Speed is convincing between 0.5× and 2×, which is as far as any browser's stretcher goes. The stops beyond that are there for picking a passage apart, and will sound rough. − and + step; tap the number for the list.

    In is mic boost while recording, and it is written into the file. Out is how loud this clip plays, here and now: it only turns down, it is never written into anything you save or download, and on a device whose own buttons own the volume it stands aside and says so.

    Keyboard: space play, s skip to start, / scrub, a/b markers, l loop, ,/. speed, r record, v reverse, i this panel.

    If something misbehaves

    Playback that will not stop, a clip that suddenly refuses to play: tap Read state and the app reports what it thinks is going on. Copy that into the bug report — it says far more than the symptom does.
