Listening to audio a bit slower often lets me understand the conversations better, helping me keep up when I type. I’ve found this helpful when I’ve been stuck trying to understand a phrase and wanted to move forward transcribing, yet didn’t want to forget where I needed to come back to revisit text.Īnother handy feature of oTranscribe is the ability to slow down or speed up audio. If you find yourself unable to hear a part of your audio clearly, you can insert a reminder of the time in your transcription to help you come back to it later. The time stamp feature (Control + J) also makes for easier editing.
When you do push play after pausing, oTranscribe automatically rewinds a couple of seconds. This makes it easy to stop and start listening while you type and reread your text. The ESC key works as both a pause and play button. There are several convenient features and shortcuts which make this a slick app for the at-home transcriptionist. There’s a button to upload your audio file into the interface (read below about why it’s secure) and a notepad to start typing. Here’s a screenshot from a recent transcription to give you an idea: Slick Features At first glance, you’ll notice that the service has a clean, no-nonsense look.
