[Linganth] suggestions on transcription software?

Fri Oct 22 17:54:19 UTC 2021

Wondering if SLA can curate this great set of suggestions here, and possibly place something like this back up on the SLA website?  A while back SLA was building the Methods and Tools Resource List on our website, but it’s been dormant for a long time.

I transcribe a lot of material in English and Spanish and I like to use the ELAN transcribing software<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.mpi.nl%2Ftla%2Felan%2Fdownload&data=04%7C01%7Cdebra.vidali%40emory.edu%7C370876fccbfc47b6216b08d9945d79ce%7Ce004fb9cb0a4424fbcd0322606d5df38%7C0%7C0%7C637703951948460756%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=4bWWWtzA0OdnYcY5jlOdWEaISkXdLyhlYBnWi2USkVU%3D&reserved=0>. It's free and used quite widely by linguists. It took me a couple days to get the hang of it, but since then it makes transcribing much easier and faster. I use it for formal interviews as well as more informal/less scripted conversations that involve multiple parties. I create different tiers for translations to follow the original text, and I segment the audio first into manageable chunks then the transcribing and translating process goes by faster after that. My usual steps are to segment the speech so that it's in shorter bits to transcribe, and then do the transcription after that.
Here are also some videos on how it is used:

The free Otter app does a pretty good job of automatic transcription.

Hi, Charles.  I’ve used Dragon for tapes in English that were basically verbal notes in exhibitions about design communication. It is quite rough, but the program trains as it goes and does improve. Transcripts take a lot of cleaning up and correcting, but is much faster to work from even a flawed transcript.

A couple of days ago I was emailing with Vox for a full transcript of an interview between Jamil Smith and Bryan Stevenson about the newly expanded Legacy Museum exhibits in Montgomery.  So I just asked the Vox folks what they use to produce transcriptions of their podcasts. They use sites that are either subscription-based or charge by the minute. Their reply is below

Best to all,

Hi all,

For a first pass, I use Happy Scribe. They have a decent range of non-English languages. The transcript will still need a lot of clean up, but will give you a first pass. I have used otter but I believe it only works for English.

Hi, friends,

Might you have suggestions as to which software works best for getting
an initial rough transcription of recorded speech? I'm drowning in
mountains of recordings.

Thanks and best to all,
