[Trans-devel] getting involved

[Nate B. <blaylock@CoLi.Uni-SB.DE>]

Hi,

We've been recently using Transcriber to transcribe some dialogues here.
We like it so much that we'd be interested in contributing to its
development --- it's really been a great tool for doing our
transcriptions.  I was wondering if it would be possible for us to get
involved in development.  (Shahid is cc'ed on this message, as he is the
student that would be actively working on the project.)

Some contributions we would be interested in making would include:
import/export from/to Praat
ability to export selected segment(s) to separate audio files with
  accompanying .trs file for just that audio segment
shortcut to start playback from current position - x seconds
  (for when you didn't quite catch what was just said, but don't
   necessarily want to replay the whole segment)

and probably other things, based on suggestions we get from students who
are doing our transcriptions.

Also, as Shahid's previous post suggests, we are working primarily with
Windows machines, and would be interested in helping keep the window's
binaries current.

Anyway, please let us know if it would be possible to get involved.
