Crossword Genius

It's seen and quoted audibly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sighted

'it's seen' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quoted audibly' is the wordplay.
'quoted' becomes 'cited' ('cite' can be a synonym of 'quote').
'audibly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'cited' is a homophone of 'SIGHTED'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sighted that I've seen before include "Saw, observed" , "Seen" , "Viewers are" , "Saw; able to see" , "Espied" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
