1. A hand-held Audio Editor comprising:

  • a microcontroller for managing functions;

    a microphone port for entering voice;

    an electronic memory adapted for storing a file having digitally-recorded voice data;

    a speaker port for enunciating stored data as voice;

    a pointer system adapted for positioning a pointer at any position in the digitally-recorded voice data by operator input;

    a recorder function for storing voice input received through the microphone as digitally-recorded voice data in the file;

    a delete function for selecting and deleting digitally-recorded voice data in the file;

    an enunciator function adapted for enunciating recorded voice data in the file; and

    a digital link adapted for two-way transmission of digital data between the hand-held Audio Editor and a host computer;

    wherein recorded voice data may be selected and deleted by use of the delete function, new voice data may be inserted into the file via the speaker port and record function at discrete points in the file indicated by the pointer, and wherein placing the pointer at a selected new position in the file causes recorded data of a pre-programmed length to be enunciated beginning at the new pointer position without moving the pointer position in the file, thereby indicating audibly to a user the pointer position in the file.
