Easy Transcription Software

As luck would have it, I happen to know someone who works in the transcription business. And she told me that any transcription tool must come with the following essentials: a built-in media player so you can listen to the audio file you must transcribe; support for a foot pedal, which you can use to pause and resume the audio playback; a clutter-free interface so you can focus on the text. Easy Transcription Software, I’m glad to say, covers all these essential bits of functionality.

Download a small installer, run it, and a setup wizard will show up; this setup wizard will guide you through all the steps you need to take to install Easy Transcription Software on your PC. When you’re done and you launch the software for the first time, a “this is the first time the Easy Transcription Software has been run” prompt will show up. IT will ask you to choose how you want to control the play, rewind, and skip functions: foot pedal or keyboard layout.

Easy Transcription Software has a clutter-free interface that lets you focus on your work. The main panel on the interface presents the text you’re writing; above it there there’s a toolbar with buttons for various functions, like save, cut, undo, redo, and open sound file. Yes, Easy Transcription Software comes with a built in media player. You can load an audio file into the application, you can play it from the application’s clutter-free interface, and you can pause/resume the playback by using your foot pedal or by using a keyboard shortcut.

Easy Transcription Software is not free, it is only free to try for an evaluation period of 15 days. A prompt will show up every time you run the trial version and remind you of this fact.

Easy Transcription Software can prove to be immensely helpful if you work in the transcription business.
