Transana is a GPL (free & open source) program for transcribing audio
and video. The wikipedia page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transana
has some links to reviews, eg. by the QACDAS group at Surrey. At the
moment, you have to pay to get the compiled and packaged version, but
it _is_ open source (so if you want to compile it yourself and run, or
rewrite it in any way, you're free to do that, but to get support and
ease of use it costs money).


best regards,
