As video material extends more and more into our lives, the need to transcribe video is becoming more necessary.

The well-known audio transcription program Express Scribe cannot currently handle video files, but there are specialist programs which will; they are usually paid-for.

Working with video is more complicated than with audio; here are some of the things to bear in mind:

• File type
  Does the program play the type of file you will receive, or can easily create?
   
• Timecode
  Can it playback embedded timecode from the file, rather than simply elapsed timecode from playback?
   
• DVD-video
  Not many programs can play back DVD’s directly, because a DVD-video disc actually plays separate video and audio streams which are recombined on playback. It’s quite complicated, but there’s usually a workaround to turn those streams into a single filewhich can be handled. Video Tool Shed’s Transcriber 2 now does work with DVD’s, though it’s still being developed.

One program we’ve come across seems to tick nearly all the boxes - InqScribe was recommended by one of our customers and the good news is that our USB Infinity pedals work well with the software.
