Hi all,
Many thanks for your replies. Audacity and Traverso are certaintly
well-established projects, so I think I could learn a lot from them. I also
spoke previously (about a year ago now) with Remon from Traverso, who kindly
invited me to join so perhaps that could be an option too. I'm very keen to
learn about how audio software works so hopefully this will be the start of
my learning. Slightly off the topic...has anybody been having issues with
the new pulseaudio server in Ubuntu Intrepid? I tried one of the fixes
suggested on the forums (reverting to esound) but it still crashes
sometimes. It's annoying me now, the previous version was fine!
Thanks,
Daire

I tried to install Express Scribe, but it wouldn't install under Ubuntu.
It has the features I'd need.
The features I need in such a program is a way to "remotely" signal to
it to pause, rewind five seconds then unpause. A desired feature would
be some way to speed up and slow down the audio stream without altering
the pitch.
Do I need to program a transcription program for the Open Source world,
or is there one already?
I worked in the past on FreeBSD audio drivers, and have done some simple
audio applications under Linux, such as a text to morse-code generator.
I have a lot of transcribing to do, so writing such a program may be
worthwhile if it isn't already done yet.

Sonic Visualiser (http://www.sonicvisualiser.org/) can do this with
remote control via OSC, but (a) its visualisation may be overkill, at
least if you are transcribing speech rather than music, and (b)
setting up OSC control for it is a bit of a project in itself.
There is a small program (sv-osc-send) in the data/osc directory of
the Sonic Visualiser distribution which can be used to send an OSC
command to any program; there is also a shell script (sv-command)
which tries to look up the Sonic Visualiser OSC port and send your
command to the right place; and there is a rather convoluted example
remote-demo script for SV using OSC -- but none of these are provided
with any of the SV binary packages, you need the source package or
repository checkout. Also, for any of this to work, your copy of SV
must have been built with OSC support in the first place (it is
optional).

Thanks Chris. That sounds like overkill. While browsing the web for my
needs, it seems like there is a similar situation with dictation
software. Lots of things that "almost" work as needed for the
application, or that work well but with tremendous overhead.

My name is Daire O'Neill. I've just joined the list to hopefully begin
my learning on audio development and possibly to contribute to some
current projects. As a beginner, I have only basic C/C++ skills, and
have never worked on any major project before. I do have a good
knowledge of audio technology and some basic DSP concepts, its the
programming side of things that lets me down! I'm currently working my
way through 'Accelerated C++' by Koenig and Moo though, so I'm
learning every day. I really want to learn about audio development and
become involved with an audio project, particularly a multitrack
recorder. I would like to be able to write my own simple multitrack
recorder eventually. Anyway, if anyone has any tips or suggestions, or
can recommend a project where I could be of help, then please let me
know.
Hi,
Welcome to Linux Audio Development.
There are several projects that you may be interested in contributing to.
The most advanced is Ardour. It uses c++ and you will learn a lot
studying the code.
There is also Audacity which is cross platform so that could be another
good app to get involved with.
For a full list of apps check out the apps wiki
http://apps.linuxaudio.org
Cheers.
Regards,
Daire
