Transcriber (Claude Barras, Edouard Geoffrois)
Transcriber is free software for transcribing and annotating digital audio, aimed initially at transcription of broadcast news data. Its user interface is written in Tcl/Tk. It uses the same transcription formats as the LDC's Broadcast News data, and has also been adapted for XML I/O. It was developed by Claude Barras and Edouard Geoffrois, at DGA in Paris, in collaboration with LDC. A new version of Transcriber will be based on the annotation graph model, and the plans are described in an LREC paper.
Since July 2011, a Transcriber successor called TranscriberAG is available.
