NVivo Transcription - Request Feature

It would be nice to have the option to add basic notes or flags to a transcription as you are working in NVivo Transcription. For example, a little flag to note where you were up to with a transcript review. This could perhaps just be a case of saving where the time/player is up to? It would be nice to have the option to perhaps add annotations that could be transferred to NVivo. I find that as I am working through a transcript things are popping into my mind that I don't have the opportunity to record. Even simple things like when you click 'review transcript' in NVivo, it leaves the NVivo Transcription dialogue open so you'd need to close that to open memos. I know that's easy to do, but it would help with the process if there was something we could do in NVivo Transcription.

In Nvivo, there is a gray stripe between the transcript and coding stripes where if you hover your mouse, a yellow box appears and you can see what codes a section has been coded in one box. In v11, in that yellow box, each individual code was one line, clearly demarcated from the next code for the same text section. In v12, text in that yellow box is not one line and looks more confusing. This makes checking codes for a section harder particularly when you are checking someone else's codes. Is there a way to make one code in that text one line, not multiple lines? The issue is when the same section is coded with multiple codes, checking them gets really complicated in this new way of text in the yellow box. Thanks,

It would be really amazing if that feature exists it will save and endless amount of time like create 2 columns each represent a hierarchy, fill in the codes and import them with one click instead of adding each manually

It is frustrating that the "code with existing code" pop-up window cannot be moved around so that it doesn't block the text that you are wanting to code. This is important because the text may need to be coded with several different codes and it is necessary to refer back to the text to ensure all the relevant codes are selected.

This is something I've seen on another transcription service, though I can't vouch for how well it works. You can provide a list of special terms that are found in your interviews, which I assume the algorithm then adds to the dictionary it's using for your interviews. This would be helpful in my case because my interviews are in English but with certain foreign words that recur.

Hi, I would suggest that to help the transcription identify different speakers, that before starting the transcription, there would be options to identify the number of speakers (as another poster suggested), their names/pseudonyms, as well as identifying a passage of speech by each speaker to help the software to differentiate between different people. I recently had an interview where the software interpreted the participant's voice as 5 different speaker (I am male, the participant was female, and our voices are quite dissimilar), and would identify a new speaker every 5-10 words she spoke, which added a lot of time editing the transcript to make it be usable. I know this won't eliminate all issues with identifying speakers, but I imagine it would reduce errors by a lot. Thanks!

This is another feature I saw on another automatic transcription service. In my case, it would be useful to be able to specify that there is only one, and enter initials that the transcription would then use at the beginnings of lines. Currently the automatic transcription tries to guess how many speakers there are and ends up with dozens, which just adds to the confusion. My use case: I have separate audio files for each of two speakers, and I can then merge the transcripts together in Nvivo. If I could specify initials for each sound file, the merged transcript would be nice and accurate wrt who is speaking.
