    Digital Heaven SpeedScriber is now in beta
    After initial look over a brief description:

    OSX 10.10 or later required (Mac only it appears).
    Open app and upload video with audio or audio only for transcription in cloud.
    It then transcribes.
    Transcription is text with speaker listed as they change.
    Listed also is the number of times each speaker speaks.
    Export is currently PDF or Text. Timestamps can be for each speaker change or each sentence.
    Account includes 30 free minutes of transcription with each additional at 75¢/minute.

    Initially will be Premiere Pro compatible only as linking text time to video won’t work in FCPX due to an issue on Apple’s side.

    I thought XML would make this easy?

    Apparently not.
    Martin posted screenshots showing me what happens. It doesn’t point to the specific point in the source clip.

    Could this be something that could be done with Lumberjack?

    Not sure why… plenty of apps work with xml to highlight ranges, add markers etc. All to specific clip times.

    FCPX the problem here is that despite all the metadata goodness in FCPX, searching for time-based metadata is currently flawed. If we export each transcribed sentence as a marker, then you can’t search for a word in FCP and see where the word is. All it does is show a list of collapsed clips. And when you click the disclosure triangle on a clip, it still doesn’t show you which marker contains the search text!

    See attached images.

    I’ve made this major limitation known to Apple… so hopefully they will address it in a future relase and we’ll then be happy to support FCPX.

    Keep in mind every single word needs to point to a specific spot on the clip. So it seems something like Avid ScriptSync can’t work at the moment in FCPX. Or, as I was hoping for, at least each sentence.

    Big Fan of Digital Heaven and used their Movie Logger for years. However there’s a service already out there i’m using every week that does a fantastic job and is far less expensive than 75 cents a minute (as low as 20 cents a minute if you use it a lot)

    It locks the transcript to the video you upload…but not to the raw video — and it’s extraordinarily accurate

    SpeedScriber will be compatible with Premiere Pro though (just not FCPX).

    Does Trint have any means to sync to clips in an NLE?

    On this topic but reverse, what are people using other than Boris Soundbite?
