[nabs-l] A Question About Transcribing Recorded Audio

Sun Nov 20 02:57:33 UTC 2011

it is usable.

My wife is a jfw user as well, and is fairly happy with it.  It is available 
from nch.

www.nch.com.au  I believe.  There is a trial version and then it must be 
purchased for about 40 bucks.  She did need some sighted assistance on the 
install though.  That made neither one of us very happy.  I have heard that 
earlier versions of the producvt are even more speech-friendly.  However, I 
do not know that firsthand.

One can also purchase a pkg of the software, foot peddle,and headphones 
together and save a little money that way.  Also, if you wish, you can 
purchase differing levels of tech support.  This ranges from web q and a, to 
actually talking with a live person.  This is a charged service though and 
is for a specified period of time.

Hello there,

Thanks for sharing this information. Is this software accessible
with jfw or not? And, where can someone get this software on the
net and, is it free or do you have to purchase it for a
reasonable fee?

This sounds cool and, I would love to check this out... thanks
for the information and, I will talk to you all soon!

my wife is starting to work with a program called
"express-scribe".  It
works with a foot pedle which allows you to start stop forward
and rewind
thew file.  One can also adjust the speed of the file.  She says
it is
mostly speech friendly.  If you would like to talk more with her
about this

Hi Amy,

Is Cool Edit free? If so, I'd be interested in downloading it! By
the way, I think Elizabeth was trying to transcribe an audio
recording into text (like a transcript,) not edit the audio
recording and keep it audio.  That's at least how I took her
email.  But only she knows for sure what she intended to do with
that "confidential" recording.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical
nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind,
1968-1986

P.S.  The I C.A.N.  Foundation helps blind and visually impaired
youth in Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through
providing assistive technology and scholarships to camps and
conventions which help them be equal with their sighted peers.

Hello Elizabeth,

First of all what format is this audio recording done in? is it
done in mp3 format or in wave format? After that there is a
program for formatting audio recordings called gold wave or you
can also use a program called cool edit.  I have never used gold
wave but, I have used cool edit for editing my audio recordings.
To obtain both of these programs to download and use for both
gold wave I believe...

You can go to www.goldwwave.com to download the software and use
it.  This is accessible with jfw.  As for cool edit I don't have
the web site for that but, if you google cool edit you can find
it!

Anyway, I hope these and other information that I have given you
is helpful.  Take care and good luck in your audio production
work.

Hugs,
amy

Hello All,

I have a rather confidential recording that is approximately
three hours in
length that I would like to have transcribed.  Does anyone have
any
recommendations about how I might be able to go about getting
this recording
transcribed? This recording is not a class lecture.  I would
welcome any
ideas regardless if it involves a human transcriber or
transcribing
technology.  If you have any ideas, please contact me off list.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
