Once you’ve got the desired Sessions selected, just drag them to your Desktop, and they’ll be exported instantly. Click to the Sessions tab, then select one or more Sessions you want to export by clicking (and shift-clicking). If you want to quickly export one or many sessions, as explained in Tip #5 above, do it from the Home window. You can then email your Session to a friend, or even post it on your website.Īn exported Session in the Finder Tip #6: Share Your Sessions Faster When you’re in the Session you wish to share, just select “Export…” from the Session menu, and save. It’s also possible to share those Sessions, by exporting them to distribute to others for use in their own copies of Audio Hijack.

Then, set a timer for when you want to wake up, right in the Schedule tab. Start by putting a radio stream in the “Open URL” field of an Application Source block, and hook it up to an Output Device block set to your speakers. It can also help you use your computer as a musical alarm clock. The Schedule tab can be used for more than timed recordings. That way, when the timer is finished (and Audio Hijack stops capturing audio), the audio-producing source application will be shut down. Remove the Output block from your audio chain, and audio will be recorded without being heard.ĭelete the Output block to mute the timer.Īs well, be sure to turn on the “Quit Sources” checkbox in the Schedule tab. If you schedule a recording for the middle of the night, you probably won’t want it to make noise while it’s recording. Tip #3: Don’t Forget to Mute Those Timers!

In addition to incorporating new functionality, a great deal of effort has gone into making Audio Hijack 3 easier to use than ever before, and we’ve been pleased to hear from many users who are thrilled with how approachable it is. We recently released Audio Hijack 3.3, and it includes several great new features. I can do basic things with recording and playback, but not much more.Posted By Paul Kafasis on June 22nd, 2016 As far as the rest of the system is concerned the sound is playing. The Sound volume indicator in the menu bar does not change either. It does not look like they change the volume settings: querying the master volume level on the headphone device shows that it is the same before and during dictation. I'm making an application that requires sound output during dictation (I'm assuming that the user is wearing headphones). For example, Audio Hijack captures the sound as it should be played and saves it into a file.

A bit of digging around turned out that the 'muted' sound is still being played. Unfortunately, they also introduced another feature - while the dictation is active, all the sound is muted. In Mavericks Apple introduced 'Enhanced Dictation' - an ability to transcribe speech into text locally, in off-line mode.
