Transcriber again

[Doug Marmion]

Hi again,

I asked the Transcriber people about this and Claude Barrass said they  
don't know when there'll be a new version out, or one that targets  
newer Macs (with Intel chips).

He did however point me to <http://www.loria.fr/~quignard/Transcriber/ 
 >, where you can get Transcriber 1.5.2. I downloaded the version for  
Leopard and it seems to run fine on an intel-based iMac (though I  
didn't test it out much). But first I had to 'Get info' on the  
application, and tick the box  'Open using Rosetta'. Without doing  
this it wouldn't launch at all.

cheers,
doug
