Figure 17.2. You can use the Audio Recording toolbar to record and play back your audio notes.

The Audio Recording toolbar allows you to start, pause, play, and end a recording. It also contains an audio gauge to show you the total length of the recording as well as the length of the playback so far. The last button on the right side of the toolbar allows you to toggle the highlighting of text you were writing or typing when you recorded the note. We'll cover each of these functions in this chapter.
