improve foreign language input
I use Korean and the cursor is located between lines. Also, dragging (for copy, delete, paste, etc.) does not work properly. Please improve basic input/edit function for foreign languages. Thanks

Do not resize media window when importing a new video file
"It would be nice to be able to import and not change my preferred sizing.
It would save a lot of resizing every time I import a file. I tend to log a lot of footage where I am handling over 100 files at a time and have to resize every one so I can access other things on my desktop at the same time." -Adrienne3 votes -
Support using the play/pause, previous/next buttons on the Mac keyboard
Other media applications will use the built-in plause/pause and previous/next buttons that normally operate iTunes, but only when that application is in use. This would provide convenient one-key shortcuts for play/pause and skipback/forward.
1 voteThanks for the suggestion Josh! We’re working now on some big changes to InqScribe, so we’ll keep your feedback in mind. We would like to add in media key support for Mac and PC.

Display subtitle character count
In the transcript window, it would be helpful if there was a way to view the number of characters per subtitle/timecode. It can be difficult to quickly judge the number of characters otherwise.
Having a character count in-between timecodes would solve this problem.
Alternatively, the ability to place an adjustable vertical line across the transcript would allow you to quickly eyeball the relative length and consistency of each text chunk.

Add right-to-left paragraph option, like for Hebrew and Arabic languages
Without this support, transcribing Hebrew and Arabic languages could be messy, especially in case of long sentences or several sentences in one dialog.

Add an optional AutoCorrect
Add an AutoCorrect feauture, similar to those in mobile devices and word processors. Since some users type shorthand or use codes in their transcript, an ability to turn off this feature is essential.
It would be great to have the following:
- Automatically make every sentence start with a capital letter.
- Include a system that recognizes frequently used words and names.47 votes -
Unpin video window from text window
You should be able to unpin the video window from the text window so you can place in a secondary window. I personally want to use your software for court presentation by clicking on the timecode and immediately playing back for the jury. Right now I have to note the time code then pull up the video in a separate player and cue to the correct time.
13 votesThanks for the suggestion Andrew. I see how unpinning the video window would be really useful for presentation scenarios. We will consider this for a future update of InqScribe.
Your second suggestion about embedding subtitles within the playback window is actually covered in the following suggestion: http://support.inqscribe.com/forums/4206-general-feedback-for-inqscribe/suggestions/3057491-preview-subtitled-movies
Feel free to place your votes there! I’ve edited this part out of the description to keep these ideas separate.

Avid Caption Format Export
I'm wondering how difficult it might be to support the Avid DS caption format. It is a very simple unicode text file with no separators other than spaces and line returns. Sample below.
<begin subtitles>
04:00:08:00 04:00:42:22
Text line 1
Text line 204:00:42:22 04:00:51:00
Text line 1
Text line 2<end subtitles>
This format is supported for captioning within Avid non-linear video editing software including Avid DS and Avid Media Composer.
cheers,
tod10 votesWe’ve put up an experimental web-based Avid DS subtitle exporter. You can find it here: https://labs.inqscribe.com/exporter/avid/
Please try it out and give us feedback!

add the ability to export transparency/ opacity scale.
add the ability to export onto a translucent background. Maybe have the transparent with a transparency/ opacity scale.
1 voteHi Junie,
Thanks for your suggestion. InqScribe currently offers a “Transparent” background option for subtitle display (see the Save Subtitled QuickTime Movie Menu settings: http://docs.inqscribe.com/2.2/subtitling.html#export). However, we do not currently offer a translucent/opaque background option, so we will place your suggestion under consideration for a future update of InqScribe.
Thanks again!

Geolocate your audio
How about being able to set a geo-location using Google Earth/Maps for a map reference to your audio clips - working in a similar way to the Timecode feature, but plotting map references. You could maybe have access to a window with google maps/earth in the interface, say below where the player is now. Finding a way to link map coordinates with the text/audio would be great.

I just purchased the program and even though that I love the concept, I'm finding it pretty hard to scrub back and forward in an easy way. I
Easier scrubbing
4 votesAs Matt pointed out, scrubbing performance will vary based on a variety of factors. We are currently revamping InqScribe’s media engine, so hopefully you can expect some general performance improvements on the next release.

Batch export
Add the ability to export to a certain format several Inqscribe files at once. Exporting a whole card full of Inqscribe transcripts one by one takes FOREVER.

Autofill the file name on export/save as dialog
When exporting, by default name the exported file with the same name as the Inqscribe project (or at least give the option, this saves a lot of time)... instead of always defaulting to "export.txt or .xml"
Additionally, when saving an InqScribe transcript, you should have the ability to autofill the title with the media filename.
6 votesThanks for writing in the request. I see how renaming files each time can become tedious. We’ll place this under review for the next InqScribe update.

Solve these Final Cut Pro Markers export problems
You can't drag and drop the generated XMLs into FCP (it gives you an "unrecognized file" error). You have to import them one by one using the "Import XML" dialog, which takes a LOT of time. Also, every imported XML gives you an error log since it can't find the associated media file.
It's prone to errors when encountering weird ASCII characters, with no explanation whatsoever that this is the case. I had to work with your support guys to figure this out.
It generates an empty sequence with the markers at sequence level. It would be great to also…

Implement keyboard shortcuts to export different types of files. (e.g: shortcut for TXT Export)
To export, you always have to go to the menu/submenu. It's be great to have a keyboard shortcut for every type of export to save time.
3 votesThanks for the suggestion! We’ll consider export shortcuts for a future InqScribe release.

Save time series jpgs with transcript notes subtitles. Would be fantastic for student notes reviews
As above, export time series jpgs with transcript subtitles. It would be an incredible review technology for notes.
6 votesThanks for the suggestion Alan. Although you can save a timecoded video as a series of JPEGs (by selecting “File > Save Time Series As JPEGs”), you cannot currently display your transcript as subtitles to these images. This is great idea, so we’ll consider adding it in a future InqScribe update.
