Nice app, "Backtrack on Pause" (skips a couple of seconds backwards before resuming the file/movie/recording, in order to let you check what you have just transcribed) is brillant. Though it is brutal on the CPU: come on, 80%+ on a 2GHz Core Duo just for playing a movie-file and letting you type (maybe it's the 'animated' counter?)?!! That's unacceptable. Otherwise very nice.

Version 2 was a downgrade. I have gone back to the earlier version.

This program works as promised and is greatly enhanced over version 1 which was already a venerable application. I use it for translation purposes and think that its simplicity is a cutting edge that makes it very intuitive. I highly recommend it to everyone who earns a living on transcription.

I've been looking for an app like this. I saw this the other day, but the cheaper price makes me really thing about getting it.

Can this help voice recognition software turn audio books (I have many of these) into PDFs? How does Transcriva differ from Express Scribe? (Transcriva's a larger download so I assume it has more features.)

Looks like an amazing program for the price - much better than just using my digital recorder. Have to give it a try!

The ability to also take notes during the playback makes it super.

Downloaded and tried. Can't find the ability to adjust the pitch, which even my iPod does automatically. Neverless, appears to be s/w I will use.

Looks like a good tool to use for transcribing INTERVIEWS as well as general notetaking at events, and minute-taking at meetings.

Wow I have done a lot of transcribing and this looks really useful!

Does it understand French and German ? I'd be thrilled!

Sounds like just what I need for transcribing long meetings -- but I wish that it had voice recognition software so that it would do the typing for me!

I have to transcribe and write synopsis of podcasts all the time for Sally Hogshead. I've tried doing it using the Quicktime player- and was constantly frustrated with the FF and Rewind tools- plus- no time codes to go back and reference things. Downloaded the demo- and once I disabled cmd spacebar from opening Spotlight in System Prefs- Keyboard and Mouse/ shortcuts- it was great. Note- this works in any language you do- it doesn't transcribe for you- it plays the audio and lets you write what you hear. Great tool- for $11 worth every penny.

Cool, this one was on my wishlist!

Try it out first - on an iMac G4 1 GHz it slows down quite badly the more captions you add (probably due to using graphics for text), so after just 20-30 captions added it becomes pretty unusable for me on the iMac. Works fine on my MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz C2D)

I never knew something like this exsisted. I am so psyched becuase I will get much use out of this app. I can nw transcribe our monthly council meetings much faster. Thanks macupdate!

Coachjr

Worth the price just for the ability to speed up transcripts. I receive a lot of pre-recorded classes and such, and this tool will save me much time in listening. The ability to also take notes during the playback makes it super.

Sounds interesting. Did anyone try it with not native English speakers?

Sly

Who's doing the transcription - the user or the software?
