Start a New LRM Project

Before you can create a data file for Listen Right, you must create a LRM data file. LRM data file is the mother file of Listen Right data file, and is re-editable. To create a LRM data file is to start a new LRM project.

Click the [New] button on the tools ribbon, then the "New Project" dialogbox appears. On this dialogbox, you are asked to choose a audio file (must be MP3), and a LRM file. After both file names properly choosen, close the dialogbox by clicking its [OK] button. Now you have a new LRM project, what you need to do next is to add text to the new LRM project.

Add Text to a New LRM Project

To add text to the new project, click the [Insert] button of the [Text] group of the tools ribbon. This displays the "Insert Text" dialogbox.

• If you already have the text in a text file:
  On the "Insert Text" dialogbox, select the [Text File] radio button and open the text file. If the text file is in Unicode encoding or in a ANSI encoding compatible to the language of your Windows system, you should be able to read it on the preview window. Otherwise, you need to change the "Code Page" until the text is readable. After properly done, close the dialogbox by clicking the [OK] button, and go on to read "Bind Text Lines to Audio"
• If you already have the text in a MP3 lyrics file:
  On the "Insert Text" dialogbox, select the [LRC File] radio button and open the lyrics file. If the lyrics file is in Unicode encoding or in a ANSI encoding compatible to the language of your Windows system, you should be able to read it on the preview window. Otherwise, you need to change the "Code Page" until the lyrics is readable. After properly done, close the dialogbox by clicking the [OK] button, and go on to read "Fine Tune the Bindings"
• If you have the text on clipboard:
  On the "Insert Text" dialogbox, select the [Multiple Text Lines] radio button and paste the text to the edit window. You may need to edit the text so that all lines are broken at the right positions. After properly done, close the dialogbox by clicking the [OK] button, and go on to read "Bind Text Lines to Audio"
• If you don't have any ready text at all:
  On the "Insert Text" dialogbox, select the [Empty Lines] radio button and enter a number for the empty lines. This number don't have to be exact - you can add more lines or delete extra lines in the future. After properly done, close the dialogbox by clicking the [OK] button, and go on to read "Bind Text Lines to Audio"

Bind Text Lines to Audio

Select the first text line on the Text Line List window, and click the [Play] button on the tools ribbon. At the moment the audio is reached the end of the line, press the [Return] key. As you press the [Return] key, LRM binds the audio and text line that has just been played, and automatically move forward to the next line. Repeat the same, until all text lines are binded.

Fine Tune the Bindings

After all text lines have been binded to audio slices, you may need to check to make sure that each line is cut at the right position. To do so, select a line and click the [Play] button. If its beginning position is not correct, you should select the previous line - this way you always adjust the ending position of a line. If the ending position is not correct, click the right mouse button on the audio ruler (progressbar) to change the endding position until as desired, and then click the [Bind] button of the [Audio] group. If you don't click [Bind] button, the changes will be discarded when you move to another line.

Use the Audio Ruler

The Audio Ruler (the progressbar) is for selecting an audio slice.

• Use mouse wheel to change the ruler's resolution;
• Use left mouse button to set the beginning postion of an audio slice;
• Use right mouse button to set the ending postion of an audio slice;
• Use Ctrl + left mouse button to play the audio at the clicked position.

Red Line Numbers

A read line number on the Text Line List window indicates that the line has a problem:

• The line is not properly binded with an audio slice.
  To fix the problem, select an audio slice and then click the [Bind] button.
• The line's ending position is not the next line's begining position.
  This is may not be a problem - for example, you dont want some part of the audio appears when making Listen Right data file. To fix the problem, click the [Make Continuous] button.
