Viewing and Downloading Transcripts in the STN on the Web Transcript Assistant - Windows

STN on the Web saves your transcripts for 4 days after you log off. The Transcript Assistant keeps track of your transcripts and lets you download them in a variety of formats. To preserve the security and privacy of your transcripts, you must log on to STN on the Web to use the Transcript Assistant.

Note: If you print this web page, use landscape mode.

This example uses Netscape. The appearance of some windows may be different in other web browsers, but the Transcript Assistant works the same way in all supported web browsers.
