Natural writing flow
Variable speed
Almost nobody types as fast as people speak. Just slow down the recording without changing the pitch. And, of course, faster in the proofreading process, then you’ll be done sooner.
Easy control and automatic return
Play and pause with the F4/F5 key or USB foot pedal. During each transcription pause, the system automatically rewinds briefly. This way you hear the last words again and stay in the flow of writing.
Focus
Only essentials
To type with concentration, you need peace and quiet, leisure and a clear text editor. In distraction-free mode, press F11 to hide all options. It remains an eye-friendly view of the transcript, even at night!
Display overlaps with fixed page width
Exact speaker overlaps for simultaneous speech can be displayed in fixed page width mode. When enabled, f4 uses a monospaced font and limits the width. Your text will then look exactly the same in Word as in f4.
Preciseness
Automatic time stamps and statistics
f4transkript automatically inserts time stamps. A click on a time stamp starts the playback at exactly this point. In addition, f4transkript automatically creates a statistic of the typing speed and shows how long the editing of the document will take.
Waveform with time measurement
The waveform shows where you are in the recording and how loud what you are saying is at that moment. Markers show the length of the passage in seconds. You can measure precise speaking times or pause lengths and insert them into the transcript using a hotkey.
Automation
Automatic speaker change
Speaker names can be stored once and are then automatically inserted alternately for each new paragraph. On Win/Linux even colored.
Predefined text elements
Simply store the most important text modules for frequently recurring phrases or special transcription characters. These are automatically inserted by typing an abbreviation + spacebar.
