Transcriber

a tool for segmenting, labeling and transcribing speech

Presentation

Transcriber is a tool for assisting the manual annotation of speech
signals. It provides a user-friendly graphical user interface for
segmenting long duration speech recordings, transcribing them, and
labeling speech turns, topic changes and acoustic conditions. It is more
specifically designed for the annotation of broadcast news recordings,
for creating corpora used in the development of automatic broadcast news
transcription systems, but its features might be found useful in other
areas of speech research.

Transcriber is developed with the scripting language Tcl/Tk
and C extensions. It relies on the Snack
sound extension, which allows support for most common audio formats,
and on the tcLex
lexer generator.

Transcriber is distributed as a free software under GNU General Public License. and has been built to support different platforms (Windows XP/2k, Mac OS X and various Linux).
