Shrink or zoom the script text size. I still can't comprehend why this wouldn't be an automatic, basic feature :) I'm working with eye medication in right now and I literally have to hold the laptop up to my face to read because I can't simply make the text larger. (FYI I'm running beta 3.4.0)

Please, please add this feature as soon as possible. I am not getting any younger and I need a larger font to properly edit and read the text so I can edit. Like everyone here said. This should be a higher priority feature for a good user experience.

Yes. This needs to be a feature 100% and a top priority. I am getting older and need to be able to adjust the font size. Also I have a 4K monitor and don't want to scale everything just for this one program.

We need to be able to change the size of the font on the screen while we're working on a transcript! This is a basic, essential feature in programs like Microsoft Word, Apple Mail, and even Text Edit. How can it not be available in a wonderful program like Descript??

I am editing a lot of transcripts and it would make it a lot easier if I could zoom out and see chunks of much smaller text.

The only way to make text bigger now is to mess with the system's DPI setting. which is very inconvenient. I work on various different platforms ranging from 34inch 2k ultrawide to 15.6inch 4k laptop screens. The lack of text size zooming feature basically means that I have to change my dpi for one of my screens every time I want to do some proper transcribing. That, alongside the lack of dark mode, makes my eye bleed.
apart from that the app has been quite nice.

Absolutely. It's really difficult to see the text clearly on my 27" screen without have to look really close. Thanks.

or larger. it is tough to edit on a large screen as it's tough to zoom in on just the text (currently defaults to timeline zoom)
