<i>Original message: Does anyone know of any free tools which help with
transcription of video corpora? What we would ideally like would be a
kind of video version of Transcriber (WinPitch is a bit complicated for
our needs), ie which allows multimedia alignment of transcription, sound
& video, plus the usual tools for annotating etc.<br><br>

The most popular choice was <b>TRANSANA
</b>(<a href="http://www.transana.org/" eudora="autourl">http://www.transana.org/</a>),
which we'll be experimenting with very soon. Other suggestions

<li>Patti Grunther (gruntherp1@mail.montclair.edu) is apparently in the
process of finishing such a tool & looking for a market.
</ul>Transcriber was also mentioned & is certainly a great tool; but
it can't integrate video & sometimes visual clues help enormously
with transcription; I hope one of the above will present a combined
interface to avoid too much tooing & froing.<br><br>
Thanks to all again<br>
