    Some things I've wished for while using Pear Note (they're pretty much all related to annotating existing recordings):

    1. A "skip silence" button. Some recordings have lengthy quiet passages. It would be great to be able to skip over these easily. Extra credit: have an option to snip out the silence from the recorded file (double extra credit: do it non-destructively).

    2. Audio leveling and filtering. Often the recorded level is all over the map and hard to understand. How about the option of an audio limiter to equalize the level, and a filter to boost voice frequencies while reducing extraneous noise and garbage? I'm an audio engineer and could help with the specification of these.

    3. A bookmarking feature. I'd love to be able to mark points in the recording and easily jump to them (maybe with the option of a special keystroke). One special bookmark should be dynamically maintained at the farthest point yet reached in the recording.

    4. A button to instantly rewind 15 seconds or so. Invaluable for re-listening to things you missed.

    5. A way to import audio/video by reference rather than making a disk-wasting copy of it. I know there could be issues if the user moves the source file, but isn't it true that Mac OS "alias" files keep track of their parent even if it's moved?

    Anybody else like these ideas?

    Ooops, I managed to miss the Jump Back button that's already there. Sorry.

    Actually, 30 seconds is longer than my ideal (15 seconds), so maybe this could be a user setting?

    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the votes for these features. I'll add your votes to the list for #1-3.

    #4 is possible today, as you found. Also, you can customize how far it jumps under Preferences->Playback with the "Jump button jumps back" setting.

    #5 is also possible today with a hidden setting, though I don't post it here as I want to make sure people understand the caveats/risks about it before sharing it. Send an email to support@usefulfruit.com and I'll send it to you.

    I agree with Rob's first 3 items. Especially the bookmark feature. I am using Pear Note in medical school. We have cumulative exams and I keep all my notes in one file so everything is continuos. I would really like to be able to add bookmarks- for subjects, exam periods (ie this much material was on first test, this was on the second, etc...
    I do really like the look up feature - maybe even love it! Really helps with medical terminology without having to switch to browser and google!

@RyanCapouch - Just so everyone knows, I would flunk out of school if I didn't have @pearnote.
