A word processor, for instance MS Word, greatly assists in the transcription process. 2) A transcription software must work with most, if not all, word processors. Global hotkeys allow you to control video/audio playback without switching windows. If you that is what you are looking for, read on.Ī transcription software needs to have a few core elements. Why? As a full-time transcriber I need a transcription software that meets my simple needs. So yes, I have a new transcription software of choice. I was quite surprised by the number of requests I got.

If you change it, it will usually stay that way, unless some software does something unusual. The Created timestamp is generally more stable, on the other hand.

Modified timestamps on folders are not useful for much on Windows.) So the Modified timestamp on a folder isn't useful as a 'newest file/change' stamp either. And changes in sub-folders don't affect the parent folder's timestamp. (OTOH, editing a file in-place may or may not bump the folder timestamp, depending on how the program doing the editing works. That's a function of Windows/NTFS and not something you can prevent. As soon as anything adds, removes, or renames a file or folder directly below the folder, the folder's timestamp will be bumped to the current time. The Modified timestamp on folders is fragile.
