What's the difference between strikethrough and just deleting text?

Removing text from a document and applying a strikethrough are distinctly different actions. While deleting text eradicates the characters from the document, the associated audio remains untouched, preserving the original content in its entirety.

Conversely, the use of strikethrough offers several advantages, particularly in the realm of transcription services. This feature is crucial for maintaining a clean and accurate transcript by removing not just the text but also the corresponding audio in specific scenarios:

When you choose to export audio files, strikethroughs ensure that any marked sections are omitted, resulting in a streamlined and focused audio output that is easier to review and share.

Similarly, exporting text with strikethroughs enhances the readability and clarity of the transcript by excluding irrelevant or corrected parts, making it more useful for professional or academic purposes.

Playback within the AI Speech Pro editor is also optimized through the use of strikethroughs, as it allows users to listen to the audio without the distraction of previously marked sections.

Furthermore, when utilizing the EMBED function to showcase your transcript in the AI Speech Pro media player, strikethroughs play a vital role in presenting a clean, uncluttered text alongside its corresponding audio, enhancing both accessibility and user experience.
