Batch update for file locations
Different users have the same file stored in different locations. Currently, we have to relocate each file one by one as we re-open transcripts. It would be so much easier to have a batch update function, or a default directory option that can be updated and affect all transcripts.

Add line numbers
Adding an option to display line numbers would make collaboration and identifying errors easier.
37 votesHi, this is still in our feature queue. We hope to add it in a future release.

Add VLC Player as an optional media player for InqScribe
Quicktime doesn't play audio for HD MPEGs & often the audio gets out of sync with the video in other formats. VLC has fewer problems with this stuff.
7 votesThanks for the suggestion. We’re currently working on revamping InqScribe’s media engine, and VLC support is a possibility. For more about InqScribe’s future, head over to our blog: http://blogs.inquirium.net/inqscribe/2014/03/retiring-quicktime/
Fun fact:
Currently, VLC Player cannot be used to control media in InqScribe, but did you know you can view your exported subtitles in VLC Player? More in our Knowledge Base here: http://support.inqscribe.com/knowledgebase/articles/422681-how-do-i-import-my-subtitles-into-vlc-player -
Add support for multi-track audio
Add the ability to playback and control multi-track audio, each with their own slider to adjust their own volume levels.
Users would be able to import the video to transcript with the option to also import the individual audio tracks. For a 5.1 sound track, there would be 6 mono tracks (Left, Right, Center, LFE, LS and RS). Being able to filter out audio effects and other unwanted noise would save a lot of time as well as greatly increase the transcript's accuracy.
Another potential use: For the Record makes courtroom recording systems which produce WAV files containing four channels…

sound effects
more options on the sounds effects would really help out for transcription. Especially for hard to hear speakers. Such as being able to manipulate the bass and treble if needed or reduce the background noise.
21 votesThanks for writing in your request. We will consider adding more audio controls to the media player for a future InqScribe update.

error box needs keyboard support and non cryptic alert messages (media not in expected folder error)
Blind users can't interact with media not found errors via the keyboard and these errors are in cryptic hexadecimal rather than English.

allow saving full-res video image in document
Be able to create a document with slides inserted in text.
7 votesThanks for writing in the request. You can save images within InqScribe by clicking “File > Save Current Frame as JPEG…” or “File > Save Time Series as JPEGs…” However, you cannot currently save these images in a document with your transcript’s text. We will consider this export option for a future update.

support separate sets of snippets/shortcuts
Many folks want to share snippets or shortcuts with each other. Come up with a way to save a collection of snippets as a file to share with others, and have a way to limit which snippets are active for any given file.
Of course, this feature could also allow you to create and store collections of snippets for your own use.
39 votesI’ve edited the description to specify “snippet collections” as a feature you can use for yourself, not just for sharing purposes. Thanks for the feedback!

Add control over size of the timecode display
The timecode display right now is way too small and difficult to see. I wish it were bigger and more visible. Either Inquirium can make it so, or give us controls over its appearance, font, color, etc.
32 votesThanks for writing in your request. We will consider either enlarging the current timeline text display, or allowing users to control the timeline font size.

allow a link in the transcript area to multiple media files
That way the same inqscribe file can point to different media files. This is useful if, for example, you wanted to show lots of examples of the same category which occur in different media files.

Please give us the ability to translate the software. It can only benefit you.

Spreadsheet type work area and Excel support
Instead of plain text area . Let us choose the number of colums visible.
Would be fare more useful and easily exporable for stuctural data instead of relying on TABs and returns that are not always visible.33 votesThanks for writing in the request! Naturally, having a spreadsheet work area would allow easy export to Excel, so I’ve added that to the description. We’ll consider spreadsheet support for a future InqScribe update. For a current workaround, head over to our blog: http://blogs.inquirium.net/inqscribe/2014/01/inqscribe-tips-format-transcripts-as-tables/

show waveform in the player window
it would be nice to see the audiowaveform in the player window
148 votesThanks for writing in the request! It’s great to hear users articulating their suggestions in the comments. We will keep this under consideration for a future InqScribe update.

Support for media in external device, like DV player
One of the things I really miss in Inqscribe is the possibility of transcribing straight from a DV tape. As a documentarist shooting in native langugages, I first have to go do a pre-translation in a text editor, and then bring a captured clip from Final Cut into Inqscribe and this will be translated again. Inqscribe would grow immensely as a program if it had the possibility of controling an external DV device via firewire (like a player, or camera in VTR mode) and using that as media.

Save subtitle settings
It would be helpful if you could save and load your subtitled settings instead of having to re-input them every time. Especially great when subtitling hundreds of MOV's with the same width/height!

Add Flash support
It would be great to be able to transcribe .FLVs (Flash format), whether from a file or from a URL. Obviously, URL would be the most convenient.
57 votesFlash support is on our radar. We’re currently in the process of revamping our media support, which you can read about here: http://blogs.inquirium.net/inqscribe/2014/03/retiring-quicktime/

allow for .m2t logging
many of us are working in HDV. Is there a way to log without doing a transfer to mpeg?
4 votesThanks for writing in the suggestion. We’re currently revamping InqScribe’s media engine, so we’ll keep this idea under consideration.
