Saving
Save a transcript as text, subtitles, Markdown or JSON, save a whole batch at once, or copy it.
Save as
| Format | File | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Text | .txt |
The sentences, one to a line. |
| Subtitles | .srt |
Numbered cues with their start and end times. |
| Web subtitles | .vtt |
The same cues as WebVTT. |
| Markdown | .md |
The file’s name as a heading, then a paragraph for each sentence. |
| JSON with word timings | .json |
The sentences, every word’s start and end, and the subtitle cues. |
Timestamps in .txt and .md, at the bottom of the menu, puts each sentence’s start time before it. Ctrl+S saves as text and Ctrl+Shift+S as subtitles (⌘S and ⌘⇧S on a Mac). pktito-cli writes the same files; its reference lists the JSON’s fields.
Where it goes
With Save next to the original checked, the transcript is saved beside the original. Otherwise a dialog asks. pktito never writes over a file: a second talk.txt becomes talk 2.txt (talk (2).txt on Windows).
Save all
A batch has Save all: text or subtitles next to each original, or every format into one folder. Files still being transcribed are saved as each one finishes.
Copy
The copy button copies the text, or in the Captions view the cues as SRT. While a file is still being transcribed, it copies the text so far.
Sentences and captions
A finished transcript can show its Sentences, as the model wrote them, or its Captions: the subtitle cues, one or two lines of at most 42 characters each. A cue that asks more than 20 characters a second of its reader is marked.
