Transcriber

[Nicholas Thieberger]

Colleen,

To get your data out of Transcriber you can do one of several things. The
easiest, sort of, it to open the file you have created, ending with a .trs
extension. This is the working transcript, with timecodes and text. But it
is all wrapped in XML and can be a little forbidding to deal with.
Nevertheless, it has all your information in it.

The other way is to choose File/Export and try out the options there. The
LIMSI label option (only on Mac I think) provides just a timecode and
the string of text.

To actually segment the audio, see the discussion on this list  earlier
this month and late January by Andrea Berez.
