A yeshivish shiur is English sentences full of Hebrew and Aramaic, said in Ashkenazi havara. Kol Kesav is a Torah transcriber built for exactly that: the Gemara’s words stay the Gemara’s words, and “Shabbos” stays Shabbos.
You choose how the loshon kodesh comes out: in Hebrew letters inside the English, or transliterated the way a bochur would write it (Shabbos, Tosafos, Brachos). When the maggid shiur speaks Yiddish, it is written in Yiddish.
What the yeshivish transcriber does
Yiddish transcription
When the shiur is in Yiddish, it is written in Yiddish with Hebrew letters, and the loshon kodesh words keep their normal spelling.
Mareh mekomos listed
The sources the maggid shiur mentions, a Gemara, a Rashi, a Tosafos, a Rambam, are gathered into a Mareh Mekomos list, grouped by topic.
Main speaker only
Leave out the questions and comments from talmidim and keep the maggid shiur’s words.
Write-up
Turns the transcript into a written piece, as if the maggid shiur wrote it up himself. Nothing is added.

Questions
Does it understand Ashkenazi pronunciation?
It is set up for yeshivish English in Ashkenazi havara, so words like Shabbos, Tosafos and Brachos are written the way they were said.
Can I transcribe a Yiddish shiur?
Yes. Yiddish is written as it was said, in standard Yiddish spelling with Hebrew letters (or in English letters if you chose transliteration).
Can the Hebrew words be in English letters?
Yes. Choose transliteration and every Hebrew, Aramaic or Yiddish word is written in English letters.
Is the transcript perfect?
Automatic transcription is a draft. Please read it over, especially words marked [?].
