Add support for custom touch bar/shortcuts in touch bar
I just got a new Macbook with a Touch Bar instead of the traditional f-keys. Would be great to be able to customise the touch bar for inqscribe and have controls, snippets or shortcuts there.

Allow switching to German style quotation marks ( „“ and ‚‘ )
In our projects, we transcribe German oral history interviews. Now, we have two ways to place German quotation marks ( „“ and ‚‘ ): Either by setting two snippets for each the left and right quotation mark or by placing the English quotation marks first and then replacing them by the "find-and-replace"-function.
Both are not quite optimal solutions, so maybe there is a way to add feature which would allow to switch the quotation mark format?
This would be als useful for other languages as Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Georgian, Icelandic, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Slovene and Ukrainian use…

Ability to just export a video file with subtitles "Burned in"
Allow to export a new video file that has subtitles "burned in". The subtitles actually part of the video so they can be seen in new QT, or anything for that matter. Doesn't need a lot of options, just for simple subtitling without jumping to other programs.

Counting Snippets Variable
Each time I insert a snippet, be able to include a counter as a variable. So each time I fire a snippet, it writes in the next number integer. Very useful for entertainment cue tracking.

add customization of line and paragraph spacing
The spacing is too close together for me, I'd like to be able to change it to 1.15 and 1.5 spacing. And customizing paragraph spacing would be a nice bonus, too.

Insert note / Highlight words
It'd be very helpful to highlight a word and/or write a note (foot note, page note, separate file) to find ana add information. You could then search them by word and have all related notes together or jump to the next note. You could export an external file with all notes so you don't have them in your transcription file.

allow text expanders
Allow text expanders. Using hotkeys to start/stop helps speed up my work, but then it is slowed down as I cannot use my usual text expanders to save keystrokes.

Fix review (Rewind) option
The funcionality of the Review button is not consequent/doesn't work properly: Clicking on it when playing the video, has no effect. Clicking on it when the video is pauzed brings you to the beginning of the video. It only works with the shortcut combination (it rewinds non stop the video until you clic the shortcut again or pauze). It should be more functional if you could rewind just 1, 2, 5 seconds, or even better, customize how much you want to rewind.

Add Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API connection
Please add an interface that helps the users to send audio files to their accounts in Google Cloud to have them translated automatically and then corrected with InqScribe.
Create an instruction page to help your customers register with the Google Cloud Speech-to-Text API service.
I've been trying to use this service myself but am finding the instruction on Google too complicated. Too oriented to experienced software developers, which I'm not.

add blinking cursor
It's hard to tell where you placed the cursor when editing text because there's no blinking cursor/indicator like in Word.

Phone Support
I suggest you have this, as not all of us are savvy enough to follow general written instructions when a media source is not any of those listed. ave phone support. I just signed-up for a free trial, but now that I see only email-based support, I will be choosing a company with phone support..

BPM Finder
It would be great if the software could automatically find the BPM of the song or video clip being played as it saves opening external applications to do this simple task.

TTML import
Although InqScribe has the ability to output a TTML file via the InqScribe Labs site (https://labs.inqscribe.com/exporter/ttml/), there is currently no way to import a TTML file into InqScribe.

Allow Real-Time timecode input (e.g. Midi Time Code) in Offline Media mode
This would make InqScribe more useful for logging off a hardware player, but more importantly means it could be used for real-time logging during Production. An example would be when filming long documentary interviews or Reality TV, a Production Assistant could be logging events to timecode coming from the Camera. Afterwards, this data could be imported into a new Transcription document along with a video file, as a head-start for creating a full edit log or transcript. There's other live timecode loggers out there, but nothing that does transcription after the fact as well. There are several existing apps for…
