Information about transcription software

[Nick Thieberger]

Transcribing with time-alignment is a great way to keep the text
linked to time codes in the media, so you can end up using the text as
an index that takes you to the right place in the media (video or
audio). Software for doing this kind of transcription includes
Transcriber and Elan but there are lots of tools out there now.

Transcriber is very easy to use too.
