[Corpora-List] Transcription (Aiding) Software

[Linguistic Data Consortium]

Hi Muhammad,

You may want to check out XTrans - a new transcription tool freely 
available from LDC:

www.ldc.upenn.edu/tools/XTrans/

XTrans, a next generation multi-platform, multilingual, multi-channel 
transcription tool to support manual transcription and annotation of 
audio recordings. XTrans provides a flexible and intuitive graphical 
user interface for a multitude of speech annotation tasks including 
(virtual) segmentation of audio into smaller units (turns and 
sentences), speaker identification, orthographic transcription in any 
language and labeling of structural elements of the transcript. It also 
allows the user to configure shortcuts and transcripts are output in a 
Tab Delineated Format (TDF). Windows and Linux versions are available 
for download.

XTrans also fully supports overlapping speech transcription from a 
virtually unlimited number of audio channels. A pdf tutorial is also 
available on the XTrans page.

Best,

Ilya
