MAXQDA allows you to play an audio or video file at the same time as the transcript. You can view media files synchronized to their transcribed texts, like a teleprompter for a television presenter, or karaoke, in which you can read the text on the screen while listening to the music.

To start a synchronized playback, click on the Sync mode button in the “Media player” toolbar.

Begin by clicking the Play button or the F4 or F5 key. You can also click on a timestamp in the document.
