Importing audio files into Dolphin Publisher.

In this next example I will show you how to add audio to your project by importing existing digital recordings such as MP3 or WAV files. 
With the heading that you wish to add audio to open, go to project on the top menu and then select 'import' and then 'import audio files' from the sub menu. This will then launch the 'import audio' window.

Next I will add an audio file to import. I can preview the audio by clicking the play button.

Because I will be synchronising this audio file with the on screen text, I will not need Dolphin Publisher to create audio events automatically, so I will turn off the automatic phrase detection. 

Now I will import the audio by clicking 'start import audio' and the audio will then be imported. The audio is now imported into the project and appears as WAV form at the bottom of the screen. At the moment it is not synchronised with the on screen text, so thin is what I need to do next in the next example.
