Abstract:
1. A method implemented by one or more computing devices, the method comprising: outputting a user interface having a first representation of sound data generated from a first sound signal and a second representation of sound data generated from a second sound signal; identifying, automatically and without user input, a first portion of the first representation that contains one or more features that correspond to one or more features in a second portion of the second representation; receiving one or more manual inputs via interaction with the user interface, the manual inputs being selection of a first point in time within the first representation and selection of a corresponding second point in time within the second representation; and generating aligned sound data from the sound data from the first and second sound signals by at least: aligning the first point in time in the sound data generated from the first sound signal to the second point in time in the sound data generated from the second sound signal, the aligning effective to anchor the first point and the second point to each other in the aligned sound data; and adjusting, automatically and without user input, the second portion of the second representation containing the one or more features to have a slower speed or a faster speed, the adjustment effective to align in time the one or more features in the second portion with the one or more features in the first portion without changing the alignment of the first point with the second point.
