Adding speech segments

In iBroadcast2 there are four different kinds of segments. The most commonly used segment is a music tracklist (which appears as “Music Played” on a programme page), but you can also create speech, highlight and chapter segments (chapters allow the audience to jump to a particular point in your programme).

There are many ways segments can be added to episode or clip pages. This guide tells you how to Manually add or edit individual speech segments using iBroadcast2.
