TranscriberAG uses GTK+ and C++ instead of Tcl/Tk.
In my opinion it is not: 1) neither Transcriber nor TranscriberAG are very active upstream, but I would define Transcriber as quite stable while TranscriberAG is still in alpha stage; 2) TranscriberAG is not a real replacement for Transcriber (I.e., it cannot modify .trs files, that are used in a lot of pipelines of people working with audio annotation); 3) Transcriber has an uglier interface, but very functional (even more than TranscriberAG). This said, TranscriberAG has the potentiality to become a very good software (it has a better annotation format, a modern GUI, it annotates both audio and video) and eventually become a good replacement for Transcriber, but given the current development state, I do not think it will become such software soon. This discussion raised several times during the last two years, so I published this repository: https://github.com/giuliopaci/transcriber-ag-debian It is my first attempt to create a TranscriberAG package, before giving up. The package source are in a very bad shape, but, just in case someone wants to work on it, at least compiles everything and install most of the files in the correct location.
