I've tried so many other jerry-rigged options, many of which are incredibly complicated, and none of which work properly. It's just a simple text editor which includes on-screen and keyboard controls for audio playback. This is fantastic for transcriptions of all sorts. Love it! Easy to use and free! Thanks so much for making transcription easier! Matt I'd love a few customization options, but I'd almost hate to clutter up something that's just right. For example, playing after pausing goes back about 2 seconds. Such a minimalist design and such a simple user experience, but there are great, little details in the background. I was able to transcribe a 17-minute recording and export it as text without even installing the app in Chrome or registering at the site. And when it starts again, it automatically plays the last few words that were spoken, so you never lose your place. It lets you pause and "rewind" from your keyboard. It lets you play the recording at a slower speed without distorting the frequency. This is perfect! Yes, you still have to type the transcript yourself, but the website gives you exactly the tools you need to do that. I love this App, it makes transcription easy. John Ĭut my transcription time in half! A must-have for every journalist/writer who has to transcribe interviews. No app required! I went back and re-transcribed a few interviews I did using just a player and was surprised at how much I had missed without being able to easily go forward and back. Then copied just the responses to a spreadsheet. I entered the list of interview questions once and used it as a template for the rest of the interviews. I liked how you could slow down the audio which was helpful when the background noise got bad.
