Text size for transcriptions and captions needs to be able to be enlarged

[semiller-holvan]

I would really appreciate if there was a way to enlarge the text in the transcription and captions panel.

I do both for English and Spanish for the medical explainer videos I make and on a 4K monitor, the text size is getting too small for this 52 year old eyes.

What version are you in?

I can't check till this afternoon, but in the newer versions, there is a slider at the bottom of the Text panel.

It is in 23.4.0, and I think a version or so before.

It is a circle on a line, and has only 3 positions. The default is the middle, and on my 4K monitor, the larger size is a big improvement. But it is not as large as you might like. What do you see?

Well dang, I never even noticed that slider before!

Thanks!

@semiller-holvan,

There have been a lot of changes to implement the new caption workflow in PR 2021, speech to text transcription, and now text-based editing. And all along the way the User Interface has changed in small and LARGE ways!

Here's the help file:

But when you look down the images, you'll see that the selector for font size in the transcript/cation window used to be ABC in different sizes! And the documentation is not up to date.

The other major help files are speech to text:

And two for text-based editing (new in 23.4.0):

Just to make it obvious for anyone else wondering the same thing...
Change the font size
I agree that the maximum size could be even bigger.
