Transcribe

About Transcribe Android App

A tool for people who need to transcribe audio recordings to text (more specifically, people that are slow typists and have sticky fingers ;)

The app is quite simple; it allows you to load an audio file and play it while typing out the text, so you don't have to switch constantly between audio player and text editor. Crucially, the app:
* Provides key bindings so that:
** you can type without interfering with the playback of the audio, and conversely
** you can control the audio (starting, stopping and seeking) without interfering with the text editing, and
** you don't accidentally type something that resets the audio, skips to the next song, etc.
* Pauses the audio playback whenever you're frantically typing to keep up

Additional features:
* Boosting of the audio signal for distant voices without distorting loud voices (too much) for .wav files. This is a better option than turning up the device volume, which might reach dangerous levels when there are loud episodes in the recording.
