f4transkript

Now at its seventh development cycle, f4trankript has its place settled at the top of the ladder when it comes to transcription software.

For starters, the app has been around for over a decade and has seen immense improvement during the years. It allows just about anybody to transcribe with ease from most audio and video media files.

It's quite clear that a lot of thought and work has gone into the app to make it the best at its job. Take, for example, the multitude of controls it offers you so that the speed you writing at matches the flow of the recordings.

You can play and pause the recording using both the mouse and the keyboard (F4/F5 keys), and during each pause, the app rewinds the recording briefly (makes it a lot easier to keep up the flow).

Of course, you can tweak the pause and length measurements yourself, a swell as tweak the speed that the recording is played out to you.

The level of attention to detail can also be seen in features aimed at improving your focus. You can use the app's distraction-free mode (press F11 to activate) that hides all options in order to make the whole process as less distracting as possible.

The automatic time stamps and statistics f4transkript provides are also worth your attention. It automatically inserts time stamps while your transcribe and clicking them will playback at that specific point.

You can also measure precise speaking times or pause lengths and even insert them in the transcript thanks to the app's waveform and time measurement features.

There's also a fair bit of automation going on. The app feature something called automatic speaker change (speaker names can be stored and then automatically inserted alternately for each new paragraph).

Another great thing is that you can also add predefined text elements. This allows you to store the most important text modules or snippets for frequently recurring phrases or topics.

Taking everything into account, f4transkript is a very accessible yet highly efficient and comprehensive transcription software.

It works on all major OSes, it's perfectly suited for all types of users, and it can be used for short transcriptions (under 5 minutes) without a license.
