The FTW Transcriber

The FTW Transcriber provides transcription software for Windows that handles manual transcription of audio and video files. It focuses on playback of recordings with navigation for repeated listening to difficult phrases. Core elements include enhanced audio quality and automatic addition of timestamps and frames. Settings for timestamps and hotkeys save per client and share with other transcribers for consistent style. It supports a wide range of file types, including dss/ds2, and plays local or remote files, video with visuals, using hotkeys or pedals. An Android version allows transcription on mobile devices.
