Where Can I Find the Hotkeys & Macros for the Ontario ACT Template?

The hotkeys for ACT transcripts can be found after the cover and index pages, right above where the transcript starts.

If you have chosen an ACT Court Transcript Profile when submitting a job through Claudio, you can expect to receive a non-speaker-identified transcript with embedded hotkeys for common notations such as speaker labels, exhibits, witness oaths, and breaks.

These hotkeys are listed just above the transcript itself and are highlighted in yellow. While editing the transcript, you will use these hotkeys to denote different events throughout the proceeding. Here is a quick reference list:
