DESCRIPTION
Footswitch 2 (Basic) is a media player for transcribers on Linux.
This version is a stripped down version of Footswitch2, containing only the absolute essentials for transcription.
Written in python and using the python bindings for VLC it allows a transcriber to control the audio or video with a footpedal, and includes a set of macros that integrate into LibreOffice. This allows the transcriber to control the media player from within Libreoffice as well, making it useful for those who do not yet own a foot pedal.
Control of the media player from LibreOffice can be via Hotkeys or an integrated toolbar.
As fs2 Basic uses LibreOffice for the transcription input, it means you are working in a world class editor, which can produce output files in most popular formats including MS Word files.
If moving from Footswitch2 to Footswitch2 Basic, any existing database files will be converted for you.
