If you hover over the person of interest. Then Ctrl+A [selects all]. Then Ctrl+C [copy].

Then paste wherever you desire (I would suggest first pasting into a simple text editor, such as Notepad, to remove formatting). As a result of the select all you will copy a tiny bit of additional text, but is is not difficult to remove this.

Well, I’ve learnt something new. I had forgotten about the popup transcripts as I had turned them off.

For me, it might be useful for an individual but not a family as I transcribe and share the info which I find a lot easier.
