What does the TXT file look like?

By default, readable paragraphs broken at pauses. Switch on timestamps to start each paragraph with its time, or choose “one sentence per line” for text that will be pasted into another program.

What encoding is the file?

UTF-8, so accented letters and non-Latin scripts come through intact in any modern editor.
