Media Player Designed for Transcription

Convenient Repeat Button.

Couldn’t catch what was said? Click the Repeat button, or just say "repeat that." Playback resumes from the point where playback was last started, so you can easily repeat exactly the same segment. Say "repeat that" as many times as needed until you can make it out.

Resume playback slightly ahead of the last pause point.

Configurable Restart Offset.

The Restart Offset will save you a lot time. When you resume play after a pausing, Dual Writer restarts one second before the pause point. This ensures that you hear the beginning of the sentence you paused at. The Restart Offset is configurable so you can adjust it to any amount of time you want.

Slow down the playback to hear the speaker more clearly.

Adjustable playback speed.

Change the playback speed to more easily catch what the speakers are saying. You can slow down the speed to 75% of normal speed, or even 50%. With playback at half speed, it’s much easier to keep up with the speaker while you type or dictate the text. And you won’t need to replay as often to catch hard to hear passages.

Configure the transcription timestamp to your requirements.

Customizable timestamp.

The Timestamp feature lets you instantly add a timestamp to your document. You can click the Timestamp button or simply say, "Timestamp" to enter the current playback position into the document. The timestamp is totally configurable, so you can make it look exactly how you want it.

The All-in-One Solution

No need for a separate transcription application.

Speech Tools allows you to do all your transcription inside Microsoft Word, by either typing your documents or dictating them. Most transcription programs provide only a striped down editor. But now that you can do your transcription with Microsoft Word, you can also finish up your editing, proofing, spell checking and formatting in the same place, without switching between applications.

Powerful Media Player

Supports most popular file formats.

Speech Tools integrates Windows Media Player inside Microsoft Word, so you can play just about any audio or video file to transcribe it. The controls are specially designed for transcription. You get precision control with and responsive, voice activated commands to play and navigate through the media file.

Fast and Friendly Playback Controls

Who needs a foot pedal?

Some transcription software programs support a foot pedal to start and stop playback of media files. But Speech Tools gives you the best interface of all - voice commands. Just say, "go" to start playback, or "repeat" to replay from the last pause point. You can also move through the audio file by saying, "skip 10" or "skip 30" to advance that many seconds. To go back, say "jump" and the number of seconds to move backwards through the file.

Work the Way That's Most Comfortable

You take control.

Transcribe the way you want to. You have the option of clicking the media player buttons with the mouse and dictating your transcript. Or you can use voice commands to control the media player and type your transcript. You can even ditch the keyboard completely, and use voice commands to control playback while you dictate the transcript.
