Workflow Tips

Drag regions on the waveform to adjust word boundaries visually. Double-click a region to play just that word.

Click a word chip in the verse list to select it. The waveform will scroll to show that word's region.

Use the Lookup button to auto-fill phonetics and definitions from existing chapter data.

Expand a verse by clicking its row in the verse list. This reveals all word chips for quick selection.

Authentication

Davar Sync starts in demo mode — you can explore John 1 but saves are disabled. Enter your API key via the lock icon or the demo banner to unlock full editing across all books and chapters.

Your session lasts 24 hours. If it expires during editing, you'll be prompted to re-enter your key, and your save will automatically retry.
