Question

overwrite vs insert indicator - how to tell without right-clicking record button?

I often change between overwrite mode and insert mode when I am recording or editing voice.

I often forget which mode I have most recently entered - and find myself overwriting when I intend to insert and vice versa. 

Is there some way to tell which mode I am in without right-clicking the record icon?

Not that I'm aware of, I'm afraid. I leave it permanently in Insert, and if I ever set it to Override, I put it back immediately I've finished. You lose less stuff that way!

That is helpful, thank you.

And the only way to know if it is in insert or override mode is to right-click on the record button. Sad.
