"praat" comes to my mind, which includes transcription utilities.
your target audience might be different, however.


and
$ apt-cache search transcript | grep -i speech
transcriber - transcribe speech data using an integrated editor
$

i don't use any of these, so i don't know how big the overlap is.


I didn't know praat, it is indeed targeting a scientific audience.

Transcriber has a few issues, I understand the last upstream version is 
from 2005 and it doesn't work well with pulseaudio (for me it plays only 
noise).


I found another simple program called gtranscribe, without a waveform. 
Generally speaking I think there is a lack of good transcription 
utilities that are not intended for phonetic/scientific work.


Best regards,
Gabor

I would be happy to take a look at this. Unfortunately, I am quite busy
at the moment so I can't promise much this week.

I have cc'd you because you did not say whether you are subscribed to
the Multimedia list. I have also copied in the RFS bug so that other
potential sponsors see this and take over if they are looking for
something to do :-)

Regards,

Ross
