DESCRIPTION
Footswitch 3 is a media player for transcribers on Linux. Written in python using the python bindings for Gstreamer it allows a transcriber to control the audio or video with a foot pedal, 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/foot switch.
Control of the media player from LibreOffice can be via Hotkeys or an integrated toolbar.
There are 3 timestamp macros, along with media player control macros for
Play/Pause toggle
Jump backwards
Jump forwards
Slower
Faster
Normal Audio speed
Jump to timestamp
Allows for multiple transcription clients, database export for spreadsheet invoicing.
This combination of fs3 and LibreOffice unlike some other transcription tools, means you are working in a world class editor, with the ability to save documents in multiple formats, including Microsoft Word formats.
