We’ve added two new WebVTT features to InqScribe Labs. WebVTT is a common format used to provide captions or transcripts that go along with audio or video. This format is similar to Subrip; WebVTT files end in either .vtt or .webvtt. Zoom provides audio transcripts as .webvtt files. YouTube and Vimeo allow you to upload…
We just released InqScribe 2.2.3, a free update for all InqScribe users. Get it here: https://www.inqscribe.com/download.html If you are currently using InqScribe 2.2.2, you should download 2.2.3 as soon as is convenient. 2.2.2 was accidentally released as a “development build”, which behaves exactly the same as a production build except that it has a built-in expiration…
InqScribe is closing in on ten years old. It’s been a point of pride that InqScribe still runs on older systems — with InqScribe 2.2, as far back as OS X 10.4 and Windows 2000. Now, however, the media playback engine changes we discussed earlier are forcing us to reconsider that approach for future versions of…
We’ve just released an update to InqScribe: version 2.2.1. This is a free upgrade for all users that addresses a number of known issues. Download the update here. If you’re currently running v2.2 or earlier, select “Check for Updates” and InqScribe’s internal update checker will offer to download the update for you. What’s changed: Fix an issue…
OS X 10.8 was released this week, and we’ve been getting a few questions about whether InqScribe is compatible with it. The short answer is yes. InqScribe runs fine under 10.8. However, the new security model for 10.8 may prevent you from running InqScribe. If you already have InqScribe installed on your computer and you…
UPDATE: As of 7/25/2013 and QuickTime 7.7.4, Apple has still not resolved the issue. Please continue to use QuickTime 7.7.1. BL. A word of warning to InqScribe users: we’ve identified a couple of bugs that impact Windows users’ ability to use InqScribe to generate subtitled movies. We’ve identified two bugs: 1. If you use…
One of the features that we really wanted to get into version 2.1 is support for using foot pedals (and other USB input devices) to control media playback while InqScribe is in the background. This would let users stay in their favorite application like Word or FileMaker, but still be able to control media playback…
If you’ve requested an evaluation license for InqScribe recently, you may have noticed that we’re handing out licenses that expire January 1. That’s about three weeks away. Normally we give you guys licenses that are good for about 5-6 weeks. There’s a reason for this: the set of evaluation licenses for InqScribe 2.0 are running…
Update: this bug is fixed in the 2.1 beta. Get the beta here. If you’re using Final Cut Pro 7 and importing InqScribe-generated FCP XML files, you’re probably pulling your hair out. As of FCP7, any imported subtitles beyond the two minute mark show up with a duration of only one frame. The problem is…
