f4 is our free transcription software for audio and video recordings

f4 – a huge support for you. Works with Mac, Windows and Linux systems and significantly alleviates typing.

f4 supports your transcription process, meaning your personal typing of video or audio recordings from interview situations. Applications like Windows Media Player or iTunes do not qualify for this kind of work. They lack essential features that simplify the transcription process. Automatic voice recognition software will cease operating if there is more than one voice involved (which is usually the case during an interview).

f4 alleviates your work by slowing down the playback speed, providing key operated control (also directly from „Word“), performing a short automatic rewind when hitting the Stop button and allowing the (automatic) insertion of text fragments and cue points through simple key combinations. f4 works with mp3, wma, wav, ogg, aif, mov, avi and mpg files (in some cases also DVD).

Express Scribe — free transcription software.  It has quick-keys for adding time code and stopping/starting the audio.  It has settings so that you can play the recording more slowly or faster than recorded.  Also, you can click on time code in your transcript and will automatically be taken to that point in your
audio.

Also, iTunes works pretty well.
