Features

On Your Mac or on the Web

On Your Mac or on the Web

Transcriva works with media clips on your Mac, on the web or with none at all. Transcriva "points to" the media, rather than copying or moving them. Keep them wherever you want!

Simple Organization

Simple Organization

The familiar library-based approach eschews documents for simplicity and organization. Create folders and organize your transcripts all in one place.

Variable Speed

Variable Speed

Speed sound up or slow it down without changing the pitch. Transcriva uses Mac OS X's Core Audio to bend speed without bending voices.

Attribution

Attribution

Associate "people" with your transcripts so that text entries are attributed to those who spoke them. Or not. Whichever suits you best!

Simple Export

Simple Export

Print your transcripts or export them as RTF (rich text format) or Word documents for editing, sharing, and publication.

Transcribe as You Record

Record Your Own

Have a camera, microphone, or web cam? Record your own media files directly on your Mac. You can even transcribe them as you record, all within Transcriva's intuitive interface.

Auto-Save

Auto-Save

Your data can be saved for you automatically as you transcribe or make changes. Stop working for a moment and Transcriva sneaks in a save, lightning fast and unobtrusive.

Follow-Along

Follow-Along

Follow-Along mode lets you play back your transcripts when you're done transcribing. The current entry is highlighted as it's spoken!

Foot Pedal Support

Foot Pedal Support

Transcriva works with select USB foot pedals for even easier control. See the foot pedal fact sheet for compatibility information.

Programmable Shortcuts

Programmable Shortcuts

The most-used controls are fully customizable, letting you tailor the application to fit your workflow.

Compatibility

Apple QuickTime Logo

Transcriva works "out of the box" with QuickTime-compatible audio and video files. Even better than that, third-party plug-ins exist for QuickTime which enable it to work with additional file formats, which means Transcriva gains this functionality automatically as well. Suggested plug-ins* are:

  • Flip4Mac - Adds QuickTime support for WMV format
  • Perian - Adds QuickTime support for AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, GVI, VP6, & VFW formats
 

* Bartas Technologies is not associated with Apple or the makers the above-suggested QuickTime plug-ins and cannot provide technical support for QuickTime, third-party plug-ins, or problems using media formats provided by such plug-ins.

Recording

Recording Icon

Transcriva lets you record right within the application. Recording works with any Mac-compatible web cam, or microphone connected to your Mac. You can even transcribe or annotate while it's recording!

Transcriva Recording Control Bar

It's easy - you need only enter recording mode, select the desired device(s) as your recording inputs, then press the record button. If you'd like to annotate or transcribe, the editor works the same as if you were working with an already-recorded media file!

Library-Based

Library Icon

Transcriva is now a "library-based" application. Disparate documents scattered about your volumes are a thing of the past. Like Address Book, iTunes, iPhoto, and many other great applications, Transcriva keeps all your transcripts in one place, a central database. Your transcripts "point to" the media files with which they are associated. This lets you keep your media where you choose, and keep your transcripts organized.

Try it Free

Certified License Icon

Transcriva is completely free to try with some limitations:

  • Unregistered users can only have two transcripts in their library at any one time.
  • The audio controls are disabled after twenty minutes per session (quit to reset).
  • Exported and printed transcripts are also 'watermarked'.

All of these limitations can be removed by purchasing a license and registering. This allows anybody to try Transcriva as long as they like, completely free.
