Original message: Does anyone know of any free tools which help with transcription of video corpora? What we would ideally like would be a kind of video version of Transcriber (WinPitch is a bit complicated for our needs), ie which allows multimedia alignment of transcription, sound & video, plus the usual tools for annotating etc.


Thanks to everyone who responded: Luciana Diniz, Crystal Nakatsu, James L. Fidelholtz, Herr Herrner, Martin Wynne, David Reitter, Janne Bondi Johannessen, Andrew Hardie, Susana Sotillo, Jan Strunk, M.Eleonora Sciubba, John Sowa, Heiki Kaalep, Serge Heiden, Huaqing Hong.
