What Audacity keeps, and what it says about it
The Time Toolbar is read-only and shows the current position of the play head or of the record head, and while the recording runs it follows the record head.
The recording of Audacity is taken from the sound input of the computer or from a mixer, and the source is chosen in the Audio Setup Toolbar or in the Audio Settings Preferences.
Audacity labels a point, a single moment of the audio, or a region, a span with a start and an end time; a point label is a region label with the same start and the same end.
The labels are imported and exported as text label files, and the text of a label can be kept for annotation or for transcription.
