Hi!

After tinkering with AppleScripts (and some insight from ChatGPT to properly target buttons), these are 2 scripts :

- One for +15 seconds (that I'll bind to F10)
- One for -15 seconds (that I'll bind to F8)

For +15 seconds:

```auto
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Notes"
		set theGroup to group 1 of group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
		set btns to every button of theGroup

		#idk how many buttons there are but I'm looking for at least 3 (that could match rewind, play/pause, skip)
		if (count of btns) ≥ 3 then
			# button 1 = closes the recording tab
			# button 2 = rewinds by 15 seconds 
			# button 3 = play/pause 
			# button 3 = skips by 15 seconds
			# button 5 = toggle between transcription/audio wave displays of the recording tab
			click item 4 of btns
		end if
	end tell
end tell

```

For -15 seconds:

```auto
tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Notes"
		set theGroup to group 1 of group 1 of splitter group 1 of window 1
		set btns to every button of theGroup

		#idk how many buttons there are but I'm looking for at least 3 (that could match rewind, play/pause, skip)
		if (count of btns) ≥ 3 then
			# button 1 = closes the recording tab
			# button 2 = rewinds by 15 seconds 
			# button 3 = play/pause 
			# button 3 = skips by 15 seconds
			# button 5 = toggle between transcription/audio wave displays of the recording tab
			click item 2 of btns
		end if
	end tell
end tell

```

Good luck with it!

Figured I'd toss this screenshot to illustrate the "buttons"
