United StatesCLOx Transcription outputs transcriptions in a .csv format with timestamps indicating the start and end time of each turn of speech contained in an audiofile. It is estimated that CLOx Transcription enables accurate transcription of a sociolinguistic interview to be completed in one-fifth or less of the time it would take to produce a manual transcription. CLOx Transcription was developed by the University of Washington Sociolinguistics Laboratory.
Works, but buggy
I had tried a number of ways to get my Mac to transcribe my hour-long interviews. It should be easy, but none of them worked. (One interesting workaround worked wonderfully for about a minute and then never again.) Clox got the job done, and I am very grateful. That is, it worked well when it worked at all. Many times, clicking the "Transcribe Audio" button had no effect. Several times, it crashed my mac. Splitting the file never worked. But so far, each file I've tried to transcribe has, sooner or later, been transcribed by CLOX (and then cleaned up with many hours of correction, but that's another story). Update: Campion Fellin kindly thanked me for this review and added crash logging in version 1.6, which I have now downloaded.
