Product Description:
Dictaphones are yesterday's news. Transcriva turns this mechanical chore into a natural, fluid process using the power of Mac OS X. The unique chat-like interface produces a clean, concise transcript whether you're transcribing a single speaker's dictation or the Board's meeting minutes. The audio interface provides just the right amount of control. An adjustable playback speed lets you work more slowly for fast talkers and more quickly for slow ones, while the backtrack-on-pause feature lets you easily pick up where you left off without the guesswork. Best of all, Transcriva's most common controls are keyboard-driven, allowing you to assign shortcuts to speakers for quick transcription, as well as control the playback without constantly reaching for the mouse. When you're finished, the export feature lets you open your transcript in any standard text editor, word processor, or layout tool - even CopyWrite! - Works with most popular audio formats. - Allows single or multiple speakers. * - Allows any number of audio clips for each transcript. * - Follow-Along keeps transcript synchronized with audio clip. - Fully keyboard-driven for a fluid, efficient experience. - Backtrack-On-Pause 'rewinds' the audio clip every time you pause so you always know where you left off. - Adjustable playback speed lets you work more slowly for fast talkers and more quickly for slow ones. - Search allows you to see only the entries you're looking for, filtering out the rest. - A chat-like interface provides a clean new perspective on your transcripts. Export puts the finished transcript in your full control, allowing you to use any standard text editor, word processor, or layout tool to format the transcript for presentation. * * These features are limited or unavailable in the unregistered version.

I've been wondering for the past several months, is there not something better than a word processor for doing transcriptions? Someone, somewhere must have thought of writing an application designed specially for transcribing interviews. Well, the search is over. I recently took the free trial for a spin and was immediately impressed. After transcribing an interview with the trial version, I purchased the full version for my next project. I usually send Open Source developers a $10 or $20 donation when their software helps me, so the $20 price tag is very reasonable for a proprietary piece of software. The trial version is very usable and lets you determine if this program is right for you, so there is little chance of buyers remorse. I hope the developer considers QuickTime video and time code support in a future version, as I'm using it to transcribe both audio and video interviews and it's nice to be able to make notes about the picture in addition to transcribing the audio into words. It would be nice if the new document dialog boxes were more like other Mac programs, allowing you to create a new folder from within the application. But these two things are minor nit-picks. Overall it's a very solid 1.x product. The adjustable playback speed, backtrack-on-pause, and multiple speaker support are essential features of a good transcription tool and they and well implemented in this program. I found that with very little practice I was transcribing an interview more quickly and efficiently than ever before. It's a pleasure to come across such an elegant solution to a problem.
