Listen N Write can be used to play and transcribe audio and video recordings.

Listen N Write is a small program which may be used to transcribe audio files, though it could use some work.

The actual program is rather small and may be why it doesn't work so great in some situations. Though unlike programs which may be similar, it does not utiltize Microsoft voices.

Using Listen N Write is rather straightforward and can be used with keyboard shortcuts. The text editor is basic.

In the end, this tool may be useful for transcribing lectures and interviews for students and journalists respectively.
