I'm part of the Beta testing for the early access to transcription, and I noticed on my end how hard it is for the system to develop transcriptions on my end, especially after all the edits. Maybe we need more time or have to do it before adding in more files to the original audio being used.

 

Second thing is, the ability to type captions is a little challenging. Because the transcription is a difficult process, I have to type it out. However, when I do type it out and I press the space button, it often leaves the typing field and goes back into my timeline which can be a mess since I type pretty fast. it's a little annoying, but I'm glad we have this feature. It's a lot faster, but if they can just fix that typing mechanic if the transcription needs more work.

One tip I have found that keeps me from being frustrated with the transcript editing / typing mechanics is to make your changes to the captions in the Program Monitor. It's not the most efficient way, but the Program Monitor text box acts difierently when editing a caption. Once you click into the Program Monitor text box vs. clicking into the transcript text boxes, you don't seem to be kicked out of edit mode as easily as you do in Transcript Text window. Hopefully we will see some major tweaks in the next beta release.
