EF Talk Scriber

You can install a whole bunch of different applications on a computer that range from simple notification systems, benchmarks, or multimedia editing tools. It is thus used to bring more comfort and practicality to a workspace and with programs like EF Talk Scriber you can write down text as best as you can interpret it based on audio feedback.

The application comes in a lightweight package, both in terms of resource usage and visual design. You can only see what it's about after going through the setup process, but there's also a portable edition you can try out and even keep on a removable storage device.

A compact interface is responsible for holding all tools you work with. Most of the space is the text field where you simply go on with the transcribe process. Barely visible, several playback controls let you play/pause the audio file, while two sliders are responsible for volume and skipping through content.

The audio player and text field do not depend on one another and can be used separately. You don't get to play with any customization options other that managing toolbar elements. Nor do you need any since the only possible output is plain text. For the audio part, you can insert MP3, WAV, or FLAC, but somehow not all functional.

In case text becomes abundant and you quickly need to find specific words, it's easily done with the help of a powerful integrated search engine. It's also fitted with a replacement feature in case multiple entries need to be modified.

Editing is limited to text input. You can add a few more details from a dedicated menu, such as current time and date, text file path and verbose, as well as sound path verbose and even cue. The same goes for sound, with no possibility to repeat specific parts or at least manage playback speed.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that EF Talk Scriber is a lightweight application you can use to manually transform audio into text. It's plain simple, and editing options leave a bit more to be desired, but simplicity offers some degree of practicality because you quickly get the result, granted the audio file is not too lengthy.
