Audiate vs. Express Scribe

It is perfect for editing all the unwanted words from your recording. It does this within a minute or two. You can also specify what you want to remove or change. Then it makes the changes seamlessly to Camtasia with the edited audio and synched video to match. All within minutes. It saves me so much time and it's fantastic at it.

It has a free trial, which is very nice if someone just needs temporary access to use, and it's not an expensive program overall. It may not be the most robust program available, but it gets the job done at a good price point. It might not be the best if you need something that allows transcriptionists to collaborate (i.e., working on the same file at the same time).

Incentivized

• Interface - The look and feel of the software is quite dated and could use a refresh
• Enhancing audio - When we need to manipulate an audio file to try to enhance it (amplifying, for example), we have to use another program to do so
• Hotkeys - Setting up hotkeys may not be as intuitive for new users as would be ideal

Audiate, like I have said before, is very easy to use and its ability to pick out unwanted phrases, edit and synchronise with Camtasia within minutes is superb! It would just be great to be able to do a one-off purchase of a product rather than a subscription.

Incentivized

• Reduces editing by hours
• Reductions in editing time saves $100s in cost
• Improves overall productivity as more time can be spent on video visualisations and improvements

Incentivized

• Very few 'inaudibles' (spots where we're unable to decipher what was said)
• Transcribing allows analysts to read scripts rather than listen to audio files, which saves time and money
• Low cost of software
