Plain Text Export Format


InqScribe Supported

Export directly within InqScribe

Exporting as plain text creates a text file containing the exact contents of your transcript. You have the option of filtering out the timecodes. These files are encoded using UTF-8 by default.


Here's how to export:

  1. Launch InqScribe and open up your transcript
  2. Select "File > Export > Plain Text..."
  3. Choose whether or not you'd like to remove timecodes for the exported file.
  4. Name your file and select a save destination
  5. Select the "Advanced..." button to choose the text encoding and line endings
  6. Click "Export"

TIPS

Some tips about the Plain Text format:

  • Speaker Delimiter and Place Timecodes on Separate Lines settings does not apply to plain text, because plain text is not imported as a set of records.
  • In some cases, it's easier to copy and paste the text of your transcript instead of exporting as plain text.



APPLICATIONS

Applications that can read the Plain Text format:

  • Word, Notepad, Text Edit, Sublime, and just about any text editor.
