Parlatype is a minimal audio player for manual speech transcription, written for the GNOME desktop environment. It plays audio sources to transcribe them in your favourite text application.
It’s intended to be useful for journalists, students, scientists and whoever needs to transcribe audio files.
Parlatype is free and open source software. Please consider a donation, if you like it.
