I am currently on the look out for the best transcribing tool, and here is one of my first finds.

This sounds very interesting. I will be translating and then having to transcribe in both Portuguese and English. If I can dictate the audio through a mic using both languages, that would be fantastic! I definitely want to explore this more and/or have someone look into doing a little teaching session on this!

Hey all! This is a fantastic transcribing app I've just started using. Wanted to share!

For those of us looking for free cloud transcription service! Here's a great review from a KUOW Reporter.... "Register at http://www.voicebase.com, upload your audio, do something else for 10 minutes to an hour or two (the wait varies apparently), and it will do a rough but surprisingly not-bad transcription for you. What I've done is then paste that "machine transcript" into a Word doc (or you can download it) and correct major errors in it as I listen to my original audio. Much faster (and a lot less typing) than trying to log tape from scratch. Voicebase.com lets you do 50 hours of audio transcribing free. I did it for a half-hour interview I'd taped in the studio; I don't know how Voicebase will perform on phone tape, audio with ambient noise behind it, speakers with accents, interviews with more than one person, etc. But for my purposes, it was pretty freaking awesome."

I really have liked using this tool with the minimal experience I've had with it thus far. I would really like to learn how to do the split screen and also learn this point they noted: Option to record both sides sound, local sound only and remote sound only. - See more at: http://www.evaer.com/#sthash.NjDc1JRN.dpuf

This looks like a very useful and user-friendly application. I have always found video interviews difficult to deal with in terms of capturing/transcribing so many thanks for passing this along. I had trouble downloading the trial version on my MacBook Pro for some reason. Looking for troubleshooting info.

I also found this one - appears to be more Mac specific: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/callrecorder/

Just another transcription tool to look at!
