The goal is to create a transcript of what is said that, at a minimum, registers the time code from the original media file and includes the speakers' names. Timecodes should be entered into the transcript according to this guide.

You may wonder why you might need something like this when you already have lots of devices and applications that play media and let you type? Maybe you don't, but I've done a lot of transcribing and captions over the last few months using multiple applications, and even two devices, and this is the first time it really felt like something improved the process for me. Export the caption file from InqSribe to a Subrip (.srt) file, then follow the regular YouTube import caption file process to add the captions to the video. Once the captioning was complete, importing the captions into YouTube went without a hitch. One trick with captions if you want a caption to cease displaying before the next caption line is displayed, add a time code with a blank line. a great job is probably a skill that takes a while to develop, but even so, I was happy with the results I got on my first attempt.
INQSCRIBE PLAY RATE HOW TO
If you have long pieces of speech, you also have to decide how to break it up into segments. With captions, you have to add time code points throughout the transcription. Obviously, creating a transcription is slightly different to creating captions. You can also use this with a USB foot-switch to start and stop playback, and I'm sorely tempted to get one! Being able to start and stop the audio with a key-stroke in the same application you're typing in, and being able to jump back a few seconds without starting and stopping really makes my efforts much more efficient (Yes, I'm not a very fast typist!) Transcribing with InqSribe was definitely faster and more efficient than the way I normally do it. While I don't want - or need - to type captions onto the video, I wish it had an option to display the captions in playback (if you're creating captions.) It would be useful to provide a clear idea of how the captions appear without having to upload them to YouTube.Ĭaptioned file attached to video on YouTube Either they should make the slider still longer to provide finer control, or allow you to enter a numeric speed. And if I tried adjusting it, the speed would jump more than I wanted. It wasn't that I couldn't slow it down enough, I just found it hard to position the slider at a speed I wanted. I was always slowing the playback down - so I could keep up! - but there's only a very small range of the slider for adjusting the speed less than 1.0x. The Play Rate slider is a little awkward to use. I wish you could set the length of the jump back 8 seconds was a fraction longer than I'd like. But I still found a few things that I'd like to see changed:

Generally, I found the application easy to use, and really useful. There are a few other major features in InqScribe support for a foot-switch control, customized keys and adjustable playback speed, but I didn't really need those to be productive.
