<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all – Does anybody happen to know a hack for extracting text transcribed with the long-defunct Transcriber app? Transcriber was a pre-ELAN-era tool for manual audio transcription that was initially superior to ELAN (for audio transcription)
due to running more stably and being way more user-friendly. I think it stopped being updated around 2005.

<p class="MsoNormal">Just like ELAN stores segmentation and annotation in .eaf files, Transcriber did so in .trs files. What I’m looking for is some way of extracting transcripts I made in 2004 from such .trs files. I apparently never bothered to export these
to a format of greater longevity, presumably because when I stopped using Transcriber, or even thinking about it, I never made a decision to do any of these things. I suppose there’s a lesson there.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can think of a variety of potential solutions for this: Maybe somebody developed an ELAN process for importing .trs files? Maybe someone still has a functional Transcriber installation and would be willing to open and export my files?
(They’re not huge, we’re talking a couple of stories, I think.) Or maybe somebody knows some other app that can open .trs files?
