SpeedScriber 2.0 adds five new languages and enhanced captions export

SpeedScriber 2.0 adds five new languages and enhanced captions export - Published on 04/10/18
Digital Heaven today announced the launch of SpeedScriber 2.0 for macOS, a major update to the automated transcription app designed for professional content creators. SpeedScriber provides amazingly accurate transcripts from audio or video files at insanely fast speeds. Version 2.0 adds many new and useful features including support for Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish languages as well as export to iTunes Timed Text for creation of captions with the latest version of Final Cut Pro X.
London, United Kingdom - Digital Heaven today announced the launch of SpeedScriber 2.0, a major update to the automated transcription app specifically designed for professional content creators(*).
Version 2.0 introduces a wide range of enhancements, most notably the ability to transcribe media files in Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish languages as well as English. As the demand to provide captions becomes ever more widespread, SpeedScriber 2.0 adds two new export options - Avid DS caption format and iTunes Timed Text for use with the closed captioning features in the latest 10.4.1 release of Final Cut Pro X.
Overview:
Many documentary filmmakers, journalists, audio and video producers depend on reliable transcripts of their files, whether it be an interview for editing purposes, a text version of the finished project or for the ever-increasing requirement for delivery of captions. While there are several web-based transcription services on the market, they typically offer delivery times of 24 hours or longer and faster turnaround adds costly surcharges. SpeedScriber delivers affordable and amazingly accurate automated transcripts in minutes.
SpeedScriber includes professional features that are only possible with a native macOS app. MXF files can be imported** and timecode is supported for QuickTime Movie and Broadcast Wave files. Since only the audio from the file is required for the transcription process, media files are converted to a mono audio-only file for upload. Once uploaded, files are processed in parallel on our cloud-based servers and the transcript data is downloaded to the Mac app. A 60 minute file is typically transcribed in less than 10 minutes.
While the accuracy of automated transcription has improved dramatically in recent years, a key innovation of SpeedScriber is its comprehensive editing interface that was designed for making corrections quickly and efficiently. Transcripts can be reviewed with the current word highlighted in real-time as the media file is played. Speaker names can be assigned to sections of the transcript with a choice of nine colours for easy identification. Punctuation changes can be made on the selected words with a single keystroke and every editing command has a keyboard shortcut. Transcripts can be printed and exported to a wide range of file formats.
Digital Heaven has been developing plug-ins and apps for Apple video apps since 2003 so not surprisingly SpeedScriber features deep round-tripping integration with Final Cut Pro X (10.3 or later). Using the power of keyword ranges, audio, video, synchronised, multicam and (new in 2.0) compound clips can be tagged and automatically identified by SpeedScriber for import without any conversion of media. When transcription and editing is complete, the transcript can be attached to clips as searchable keyword ranges, again via a simple drag-and-drop operation. Favourite ranges created in SpeedScriber are transferred seamlessly to Final Cut Pro X. New in SpeedScriber 2.0 is support for export to iTunes Timed Text (.itt) format which can be used to create closed captions in the latest 10.4.1 release of Final Cut Pro X.
The SpeedScriber panel for Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2017.1 or later for macOS or Windows) gives real-time access to the transcripts on the user's account and allows import of transcripts as speech metadata or markers within seconds. Captions can be created in Premiere Pro by exporting to SubRip (.srt) format from SpeedScriber.
Avid has been a pioneer of script-based editing and with the reintroduction of ScriptSync, SpeedScriber is the perfect partner for creating searchable scripts right inside Media Composer. Transcripts can be exported to Avid Script format without the need to do additional reformatting or conversion. For captioning, SpeedScriber 2.0 now supports export to Avid DS Caption format.
Features:
* SpeedScriber combines the speed and scalability of a cloud-based transcription service with the flexibility of a native macOS app to create a solution that cannot be matched by traditional transcription providers.
* Get amazingly accurate timestamped transcripts in minutes rather than hours or days.
* Import audio and video files with support for timecode in QuickTime Movie and Broadcast Wave formats.
* Innovative editing tools enable fast and efficient transcript corrections at the speaker, punctuation and character-level.
* Print or export transcripts to a wide range of file formats.
* Deep integration with Apple Final Cut Pro X (10.3 or later) with drag-and-drop round-tripping of clips via XML.
* SpeedScriber panel for Adobe Premiere Pro CC gives real-time access to transcripts on the user's account and import to clips within seconds.
* Direct export of transcripts to Avid Script format makes SpeedScriber the perfect partner for ScriptSync.
New In Version 2.0
* Transcribe media files in Dutch, French, German, Italian and Spanish in addition to English.
* Custom Words panel allows users to save specialised terms and names and recall them with a single click to significantly speed up transcript editing.
* New captioning export options for Avid DS captions (for use with Avid Media Composer) and iTunes Timed Text (for use with Final Cut Pro X 10.4.1).
* Export to Word file (.docx).
* Support for round-tripping of compound clips with Final Cut Pro X.
* Rewritten word editing engine provides much improved estimated timings on new and corrected words.
* User interface enhancements including resizable panels and font size options.
Pricing and Availability:
SpeedScriber is available now as a free download from the Mac App Store (macOS 10.11.5 or later). A SpeedScriber account is required which can be created in the app and 15 minutes of FREE transcribing time will be added to new accounts. Additional minutes can be purchased and the duration of each imported file is rounded up to the next whole minute then deducted from the account balance when submitted for transcription.
* US$0.50/min for 30 mins/60 mins/120 mins
* US$0.47/min for 300 mins (5 hours with 5% discount on standard rate)
* US$0.45/min for 600 mins (10 hours with 10% discount on standard rate)
* US$0.42/min for 1500 mins (25 hours with 15% discount on standard rate)
* US$0.37/min for 6000 mins (100 hours with 25% discount on standard rate)
* SpeedScriber has been specifically designed for professional content creators who are using it to transcribe clear and well-recorded audio files that would be considered good enough quality for broadcast. It is not a suitable solution for transcribing business meetings or conference calls.
** MXF media files are supported if the Apple Pro Format codecs are installed, which require Compressor, Final Cut Pro or Motion.

Freeware Spring Updates: CalcService, WordService, XMenu
A new article has been published at prMac.
Freeware Spring Updates: CalcService, WordService, XMenu - Published on 04/08/18
DEVONtechnologies updates a number of freeware utilities with enhancements and compatibility fixes. The menubar shortcut app XMenu receives Retina icons, the Services menu extension CalcService accepts numbers with separators, and WordService sorts rich text and correctly sorts numbers. All updates free and recommended to all users.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies updates a number of freeware utilities with enhancements and compatibility fixes. The menubar shortcut app XMenu receives Retina icons, the Services menu extension CalcService accepts numbers with separators, and WordService sorts rich text and correctly sorts numbers. All updates free and recommended to all users.
Besides its commercial applications DEVONthink, DEVONagent, and DEVONsphere, DEVONtechnologies publishes a range of freeware utilities. They extend the Services menu, make apps and documents accessible from the menu bar, find files, generate thumbnails from images, or place pictures or web cams on the user's desktop.
* CalcService: Calculates mathematical terms from selected text
* WordService: Manipulates selected text
* EasyFind: Finds files with precision and without relying on Spotlight
* PhotoStickies: Puts photos or web cams on the desktop like sticky notes
* ThumbsUp: Creates thumbnails from images, PDFs, and videos
* XMenu: Adds menus to the menu bar for accessing apps, documents, and more
All DEVONtechnologies freeware utilities are free also for commercial use.
What's new in CalcService, WordService, and XMenu: CalcService 3.5 supports also numbers with separators, e.g., copied from an invoice or account statement. WordService 2.8.2 sorts rich text and correctly sorts numbers. The "Initial caps of sentences" command now capitalizes the first word after paragraph separators or multiple line feeds too. Both Services menu extensions are optimized for and require macOS Yosemite and later.
"Services are still one of the most underrated features of the Mac. They can offer convenient functionality anywhere for selected text or files without keeping a menubar applet running at all times. Our CalcService and WordService safely enhance all applications that work with text, from simple TextEdit to word processors or our own DEVONthink, with powerful commands for everyday use" comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.
XMenu 1.9.9 brings Retina-optimized icons for its menus and uses custom icons of volume aliases. In addition it resolves aliases faster and supports App Transport Security on OS X El Capitan and later. If required, it moves itself into the Applications folder.
Device requirements:
* macOS Yosemite or later.

Highly context-aware, DEVONsphere Express runs as a menulet and indexes documents and other data in the background. It focuses automatically on what the user is working on and finds related documents, email messages, web pages, and more. Version 1.9.1 offers performance-related enhancements, AFPS support works works better with ePub books and searches PDF annotations and forms.
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho - DEVONtechnologies updates its desktop search assistant DEVONsphere Express with performance-related enhancements and AFPS support. It also works better with ePub books and searches PDF annotations and forms. The update to version 1.9.1 is free and recommended for all users.
DEVONsphere Express is DEVONtechnologies' desktop search assistant.

Sparkle Invites Visual Thinkers and Print Designers to the Web - Published on 04/04/18
Florence based indy development team, River SRL today announces Sparkle 2.5.3, a significant update to their powerful visual web design application for macOS. Sparkle allows anyone to create beautiful, modern, bespoke websites, ignoring HTML, CSS and most technical details. The app uses a WYSIWYG freeform layout, letting users showcase their content without being restricted by predefined templates or canned components. Version 2.5.3 introduces effortless DTP-level text layout control.
Florence, Italy - Independent development team, River SRL today is proud to announce the release and immediate availability of Sparkle 2.5.3, an important update to their visual web designer for macOS systems. Sparkle allows anyone to easily build beautiful, custom websites, without being constrained by canned templates or web-based website interfaces.
Sparkle offers users a fully freeform canvas, making it easy for visual thinkers to design their customer websites without the need to be versed in HTML, CSS, or browser compatibility and web performance details. The app produces fully optimized code, including responsive images, CSS shapes, and other cutting-edge features.
"The complexity of building a responsive website today is so high that many people simply give up and resort to using a customized WordPress theme, or a cookie-cutter template, resulting in websites all looking the same," says River SRL co-founder Duncan Wilcox. "We designed Sparkle to be used by visual thinkers who simply don't have the time or inclination to learn HTML, CSS, and other technologies, simply to build a website."
Sparkle offers a freeform canvas interface, making it easy to build any website. The interface is designed to be more like a graphic designer app than a webpage layout app. While the app is easy-to-use, it produces fully-optimized code, making use of modern web features and implementing best practices under the hood.
Features Include:
* Fully freeform canvas - Perfect for visual thinkers
* Drop in images, videos, MP3 music, downloadable files, and more
* Access to hundreds of web fonts
* Visual contact form creator
* Built-in Google Maps generator
* Ability to design for desktop, tablet, and smartphone screens
* Live preview of the site on computers and mobile devices
* Integrates with ecommerce tools such as Shopify, PayPal, and many more
* Advanced SEO
* Analytics and Tag Manager
* Twitter and Facebook sharing
* Site verification, robots.txt, and sitemap.xml all built-in
* Produces fully optimized code
* Built-in incremental FTP capabilities
* Native macOS interface
* Close integration with other Mac apps
* Much more
Sparkle allows anyone to create landing pages in just a few minutes. The app is the perfect way to test ideas, focusing fully on content and layout without worrying about arcane HTML and CSS layout code. Sparkle's freeform layout means anyone can create a website, without being constrained by a template, or worrying about the results looking just like everyone else's WordPress template-based website.
Users love Sparkle:
"We used to create comps in Photoshop for developers. With Sparkle we have our sites up and running in hours rather than weeks." - Hossein Farmani, Founder and Curator, The Lucie Awards, IPA - International Photography Awards
"We use Sparkle to create hundreds of quick landing pages to test our marketing strategies, Sparkle has saved us many hours of development time." - David Tera, Director of Marketing, IDA - Int'l Design Awards.
"I have tried out many different tools to create websites, but none of them can top Sparkle." - Philip Amour, Product Designer
What's New in 2.5.3:
* Added text wrapping around images
* Significantly improved text layout precision and accuracy
* Added advanced text settings and text shadows
* Added image color filters
* Added per-image links and labels on image galleries
* Added Google Tag Manager support
* Added local business metadata editor
* Added HTML id customization
* Improved file format to reduce system resource usage
* Improved video player compatibility
* Improved publishing compatibility with many web hosts
"Duncan and I spent years coding websites and writing HTML parsers, and we were growing frustrated with the state of web design tools and their technological complexity," shares River SRL co-founder Daniele Trambusti. "So, in 2013 we decided to team up and fix the problem for good. Our goal was to make it possible for users to easily develop a custom website without ever being required to see a line of HTML or CSS code. Sparkle is the fruit of our labor."
Sparkle Free is a full-featured app, and allows users to publish a single site, consisting of 3 pages, with "Made with Sparkle" branding on the pages. Sparkle One allows publishing of a single site with no page limit or branding. Sparkle Pro allows publishing unlimited sites, the ability to export site to disk with no page limit and no branding. Sparkle One is available as a one-time $44.99 USD purchase. Sparkle Pro is available as a one-time $89.99 USD purchase. Multi-User licenses are also available.
System Requirements:
* macOS 10.9 Mavericks or later
* Optimized for macOS 10.13 High Sierra
* 30.7 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Sparkle 2.5.3 is free and is available worldwide through the Mac App Store in the Graphics and Design category. The app is also available from the Sparkle website.

Sparkle allows anyone to create landing pages in just a few minutes. The app is the perfect way to test ideas, focusing fully on content and layout without worrying about arcane HTML and CSS layout code. Sparkle's freeform layout means anyone can create a website, without being constrained by a template, or worrying about the results looking just like everyone else's WordPress template-based website.

"Duncan and I spent years coding websites and writing HTML parsers, and we were growing frustrated with the state of web design tools and their technological complexity," shares River SRL co-founder Daniele Trambusti. "So, in 2013 we decided to team up and fix the problem for good. Our goal was to make it possible for users to easily develop a custom website without ever being required to see a line of HTML or CSS code. Sparkle is the fruit of our labor."
