- four alternative methods of linking to media (Transcriber spacing, Sound Walker roll back, Sound wave highlighting, direct link editing),
- keyboard shortcuts to special CA symbols,
- automatic overlap alignment,
- programs for export and import from ELAN, EXMARaLDA, Praat, Phon, and SALT,
- output into Classic CA format,
- a suite of programs for searching, coding, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis, and
- format and program compatibility with the largest corpora of data on spoken language in CHILDES (44 million words) and TalkBank (55 million words).
