Transcript 2.3.2.74

Transcript is a transcription assistant for Windows. The application does not incorporate any OCR technology, so it will not do the work for you. Instead, it will provide you with a graphical interface that should make the whole transcription process a lot easier.

In short, the application consists of two panels: the image panel and the text panel. The former allows you to load an image, while in the latter you get to type the text that you see. Having a two-panel interface beats having to switch between applications. Transcript allows you to zoom in or out from the picture that you loaded to ease the process even further. Also, you can change the brightness level. Images can be loaded from the hard drive or any other media, but if you have a TWAIN-capable webcam or a scanner, you can scan pictures straight into the interface. So, rather than scanning a whole book and then transcribing it, you can do that page by page. You are of course given all the text-editing functions that you would find in a text editor, though Transcript does not support graphs and charts. To sum up, if you are forced to transcribe a text by hand, Transcript can help. However, if you have a choice, you might want to look into OCR applications, which can save you up to 95% of your time.
