this video opens up, too.

-
Play/Pause (Ctrl-Slash)
-
Plays the video if it is stopped; pauses it otherwise.
-
Play Back (Ctrl-Quote)
-
Rewinds the video by a specified decrement without stopping it.
The decrement is determined by QuillDriver's "Play minus" value,
which is one of QuillDriver's user preferences. For example, if the
"Play minus" parameter value is 1,000 (one thousand milliseconds),
then the video will rewind by one second while still playing.
-
Play Next Line (Ctrl+Shift-Down)
-
Plays the next transcription line that has start and end time
codes associated with it.
-
Play Current (Ctrl-Left)
-
Plays the currently selected transcription line.
-
Play End of Current Line (Ctrl-Right)
-
Plays the end of the current transcription line. Again, how much
constitutes the "end" of the line is determined by the "Play minus"
value. If the "Play minus" value is 1,000, then this will play the
final second of the current line. By using this function, you don't
have to listen to the entirety of a transcription line when checking
or editing its end time code.
-
Play Previous Line (Ctrl+Shift-Up)
-
Plays the previous transcription line.
-
Go to Next Line (Ctrl-Down)
-
Moves the editing cursor to the next transcription
line, without playing it.
-
Go to Previous Line (Ctrl-Up)
-
Moves the editing cursor to the previous transcription
line, without playing it.
-
Add Speaker (Ctrl-J)
-
Adds a new speaker slot to the metadata at the beginning
of the transcript.
-
Delete Speaker (Ctrl-K)
-
If your cursor is located on a speaker name within the
metadata at the beginning of the transcript, then this will
delete that speaker from the metadata. CAUTION: This
does not delete any references to the speaker within the
transcript itself. If you have actually assigned transcription
lines to this speaker, then you should first delete those
transcription lines before deleting the speaker in the
metadata.
-
Change Speaker (Ctrl-1)
-
Changes the speaker assigned to the current transcription
line. This works by cycling through the speakers one by one.
Thus, to change from the first speaker in the metadata to the
fourth speaker, you must first change to the second and then
to the third speaker. Using this function to change speakers
is efficient only when there are a relatively small number
of speakers.
-
New Clause (Ctrl-M)
-
Inserts a new transcription line after the current
transcription line. If this line has a different speaker
from the previous line, then you must change the
speaker for the line.
-
Delete Clause (Ctrl-R)
- Deletes current clause.
-
Mark Start Time (Ctrl-Comma)
-
Assigns the start time for the current transcription line to the
current media time. Can be used if the media is playing or if
it is paused.
-
Mark Stop Time (Ctrl-Period)
-
Assigns the end time for the current transcription line to the
current media time. Can be used if the media is playing or if
it is paused.
-
Increase Start Time (Ctrl-Equals)
-
Increases the start time of the current transcription line
by the "Slow Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to increase the start time by a small amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can change it.
-
Rapid Increase Start (Ctrl+Alt-Equals)
-
Increases the start time of the current transcription line
by the "Rapid Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to increase the start time by a large amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can
change it.
-
Decrease Start Time (Ctrl-Minus)
-
Decreases the start time of the current transcription line
by the "Slow Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to decrease the start time by a small amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can change it.
-
Rapid Decrease Start (Ctrl+Alt-Minus)
-
Decreases the start time of the current transcription line
by the "Rapid Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to decrease the start time by a large amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can
change it.
-
Increase Stop Time (Ctrl-Close Bracket)
-
Increases the end time of the current transcription line
by the "Slow Increase/Decrease" value.

This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can
change it.
-
Rapid Increase Stop (Ctrl+Alt-Close Bracket)
-
Increases the end time of the current transcription line

This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can
change it.

end of the media. Use this when you want to redo the end
time code for a line.
-
Decrease Stop Time (Ctrl-Open Bracket)
-
Decreases the end time of the current transcription line
by the "Slow Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to decrease the end time by a small amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can change it.
-
Rapid Decrease Stop (Ctrl+Alt-Open Bracket)
-
Decreases the end time of the current transcription line
by the "Rapid Increase/Decrease" value.
Use this function to decrease the end time by a large amount.
This value is a QuillDriver user preference, so you can change it.
-
Reset Time Codes (Ctrl+Shift-Slash)
-
Zaps away the start and end times for the current transcription
line, by assigning both to -1, the "has no time code" value.
This function is used to time code a line from scratch, in those
cases, for example, where the existing time codes are completely
inaccurate.
