#Transcribing
Transcription records a match that is being played in front of you, over the board, one entry at a time: type the dice, pick the move, and the position follows. Nothing is committed until you choose the move, so a misread roll is thrown away rather than undone.
The transcriber has its own keyboard layout, and it is the one surface worth
learning the keys for, because entry speed is the whole game. The ? button
in the transcription panel lists every binding, alongside short answers to what
to do when a player dances, when a play was illegal, and when the score you
joined at was wrong. The same list is on
Keyboard and controls, from the same table the
app reads.
A running accuracy estimate is computed on your own device as you enter moves, so entry never waits on the network. On a paid plan Standard the same menu offers deeper server passes over the transcript so far, which land in the summary while you keep typing.
#Broadcasting Standard
A transcription can be broadcast live. Viewers get a watch link that needs no account, showing the board, the score and the error rate as it builds, and OBS overlays can read the same feed for a stream.
The watch link keeps working after the broadcast ends. The match is saved to
your Matches and published as you go, so whoever holds the link is taken to the
full analysis: the whole match move by move, with the error markers, and a
.mat download. You do not have to remember to press Stop for that to happen.
#Keeping a match private
Turn off Publish the analysis when the broadcast ends in the broadcast panel, before or during the stream. The match then stays private and the watch link simply reports that the broadcast has ended. Turning the setting off after the fact un-publishes the match again.
#The link to share afterwards
The broadcast panel shows an Analysis link as soon as the match has been saved, during the broadcast as well as after you stop. That is the one to hand out once the stream is over. You can also un-share the match later from your Matches list, and the watch page then stops offering it.
#Finding a broadcast that has finished
Watch in the top bar opens the live directory, and its Past broadcasts tab, the archive, lists every finished broadcast with its analysis and its match file, searchable by player name or title. Nothing is listed there unless the broadcaster left the analysis published. A broadcast whose match carries public notes says how many, so a broadcaster who went through the match afterwards shows there too. The Annotated matches tab beside it holds the matches their owners published with notes (Publishing a match).
