The FTW Transcriber

The FTW Transcriber is just a media player with a few extra steps. Besides being able to support a lot of video formats, the application sports several features that may allow one to analyze a recording, slow down a clip or enhance its audio. The tool is advertised as a solution for police, hospital, politics, and corporations transcribing needs.

Installing the application also comes with something extra. After The FTW Transcriber is in, it appears that three more codecs are necessary to be installed, supposed to ensure the functionality of the app. Sadly, there are a lot of similar utilities nowadays, who sport the same features or a version of those. Still, transcription software seems to be a different branch of the market, so any similarities might be simply incidental.

You can load a single video or an entire playlist. After a clip is in, you can use the control buttons to, play, pause, stop, or move to the next item. Besides the preview panel, three sliders can be employed. The first one deals with the volume of the app, the second one appears to influence the voice levels, while the third one adjusts the video's speed.

As transcription jobs require high speed and dexterity, foot pedals are now an indispensable device. The FTW Transcriber supports multiple pedal products, and its home page provides the users with a hefty list of compatible products.

The FTW Transcriber was designed to serve as a transcriber's tool, as this field requires one to listen to audio files and quickly transcribe them into text. The app feels like any day-to-day media player, so a newly initiated transcriber shouldn't have any difficulties adjusting to it.
