Projects screen

The Projects screen is the first thing you see when you launch the app. Every project you have ever created is listed here, most recently edited at the top, with quick actions for opening, renaming, restarting, or deleting each one.

The Projects screen with two or three project cards, each showing Rename, Start Over, and Delete actions.

Layout

At the top of the screen is the app brand strip and a + New project button on the far right. Below that is a list of project cards. Each card shows:

• The project's name
• How many paragraphs it has and how many of them are recorded
• When it was last edited
• Three actions: Rename, Start Over, and Delete

Clicking anywhere on the card except those three actions opens the project in the Editor.

Sort order

Cards are sorted by last edit time, newest first. Recording a paragraph, importing audio, renaming, or anything else that changes the project bumps it to the top. There is no manual sort - the list is always "what did I touch most recently".

Creating a new project

Click + New project. This takes you to the New Project screen, where you enter a name and paste in your script. When you create the project there, you come back to this screen and the new project is at the top of the list.

Renaming a project

Click Rename on any project card. An in-app dialog opens with a text field pre-populated with the current name. Type the new name and press Enter (or click Save). Press Esc (or click Cancel) to abandon the change.

Start Over

Click Start Over on any project card to wipe its recordings and edit its script from scratch while keeping the same project slot. The flow is deliberately a little protective:

1. You click Start Over on a card.
2. The app takes you to the New Project screen in restart mode. The name and script of the existing project are pre-filled in the form. Nothing has been deleted yet.
3. You can edit the script, change the name, or back out. If you back out, nothing happens.
4. If you click Start Over on the New Project screen, only then does the app clear the audio, replace the paragraphs with the new text, and return you to the Editor.

Delete

Click Delete on any project card to permanently remove the project, its recordings, and any exported files it produced. The delete flow has a deliberate visual confirmation step:

1. You click Delete on a card.
2. The card turns red so you can see exactly which project is on the chopping block.
3. A blocking dialog appears: "This cannot be undone." with Cancel and Delete buttons.
4. Cancel restores the card to normal. Delete removes the project folder from disk.

A project card mid-delete: red row state behind the blocking confirm dialog.

Empty state

If you have not created any projects yet, the list area shows a short message ("No projects yet.") with the same + New project button. This is the screen you see on first launch.

Where projects live on disk

Each project is a folder under the app's data directory. The exact path depends on your operating system:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\VoiceOverAndOver\VoiceOverAndOver\projects\
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/VoiceOverAndOver/VoiceOverAndOver/projects/

Each project folder is named <slug>-<8-hex-id> and contains:

• project.json - the project's text, paragraph list, and per-paragraph settings (crop times, gain).
• audio/ - one .webm file per recorded paragraph.
• exports/ - any merged previews the app has produced.
