Transcribe While Playing

You can transcribe an audio or video file while playing it in 'transcribe' mode. You can play, pause and then play some more, transcribing as you listen.  Each time you stop the media a new transcript row is added.

To transcribe an audio or video file:

  1. Open the required video or audio source.

  2. On the Media menu, click Play Mode.

  3. Click the Transcribe option—you are now in Transcribe mode.

  4. On the Media menu, click Play Speed, and then select your preferred play speed for transcribing. You can also adjust the play speed using the slider on the Media toolbar.

  5. On the Media toolbar, click the Play button. A transcript entry is added with the starting time in the Timespan field.

  6. Enter the required content. You can pause and rewind if required.

  7. Press the Stop button when you have completed the entry. The end time is added to the Timespan field.

  1. Continue until you have transcribed the required content.

  2. Turn-off transcribe mode—on the Media menu, click Play Mode >Normal.

 

You can activate the 'Skip back on play in transcribe mode' function. When you are in transcribe mode, the media player skips back when you select Play afterPause—refer to Setting Application Options (Audio/Video tab) for more information.
