Font Selection

TranscribeNext automatically selects the best font for your transcription:

  • Latin text → Helvetica (clean, professional)
  • Non-Latin text (Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.) → Courier (better Unicode support)

Pro Tip

PDFs preserve exact formatting across all devices. What you see on your screen is exactly what others will see when they open the file.

Document Margins

All PDF exports use standard margins for optimal printing:

  • Top: 50pt
  • Bottom: 50pt
  • Left: 50pt
  • Right: 50pt

Timestamps Option

Enable timestamps to include time markers for each segment. Timestamps appear in small gray text above each paragraph.

Important

Very long transcriptions may take a few seconds to generate the PDF. The system automatically handles page breaks when needed.
