Waveform cursor

Praat for Beginners:
The Sound editor: the waveform cursor

The vertical red line is the cursor, marking a time position in the waveform. The Sound editor opens with the cursor centred in the waveform. The red number above the cursor is the value of the cursor position, in seconds, in the Sound object being viewed. Move the cursor by clicking the new position in the waveform To hide the cursor, click outside the wave, to the left or right; the side where it is hidden is shown by a blue dot. For greater precision when placing the cursor, zoom in first The Select menu has commands for moving the cursor to precise positions
