Sound Forge
If you want to make C.B.T (Computer Based Training) content using the Quikscribe Recorder and you want to do some serious post-editing, we recommend that use Sound Forge as it is one of the best audio editing applications on the market.
When you export a .wav file from the Quikscribe Recorder that has markers within it, the Quikscribe Recorder automatically saves all of the marker information into a separate text file with the same filename prefix. When the audio file is opened by Sound Forge, all of the marker information is associated with the audio file. Which means if you add or delete audio, the marker positions dynamically change accordingly. When you save the audio file, the text file is then automatically updated, which means when you reimport the audio file back into the Quikscribe Recorder, and of the marker timings are automatically updated also.
Note: If you plan to do post-editing using Sound Forge, make sure that you record using "No Compression" that way when you import the audio file into Sound Forge, the audio does not need to be decompressed, edited and then re-compressed, which will cause the audio quality to degrade. The only time a file should be compressed is when content is finished and ready to distributed.

Goldwave
If you want to make C.B.T (Computer Based Training) content using the Quikscribe Recorder but you are on a budget, rather than purchasing Sound Forge, you should purchase a product called Goldwave. It is a shareware product that comes with a 30-day free trial.
It does not have all of the powerful featues that Sound Forge has, but it is great product for the price. However one major downside with Goldwave is it is not able to import marker locations, which means if your audio content has a lot of markers within it, the timings will be effected if you add or delete audio. Which means you will need to manually change the timings when you reimport the audio back into the Quikscribe Recorder. That being you are better of to record and edit your audio first, then add your markers and images later, that way you do not have to do any rework on your timings.
Note: If you plan to do post-editing using Goldwave, make sure that you record using "No Compression" that way when you import the audio file into Goldwave, the audio does not need to be decompressed, edited and then re-compressed, which will cause the audio quality to degrade. The only time a file should be compressed is when content is finished and ready to distributed.
