Transcriptor is a free online tool which makes transcription of audio/video files easy. It contains a text editor and an audio player in a unified interface which makes it easy to switch back and forth between the two.

Herndon, VA -- Scribie.com, an audio and video transcription service, is proud to announce the launch of their new tool, Transcriptor, for audio/video transcription. This free tool lets anyone transcribe a file.

“We've used Transcriptor internally and have also provided it to our customers, who use it to check their files before downloading. The feedback has been very positive which made us think about launching it for everyone. Now we're thrilled to share it with everyone,” says Rajiv, our Chief Technical Architect. “We've packed it with advanced features unlike others, so you can save both time and effort during transcription."

Transcriptor is a combination of audio player and text editor both presented in a unified interface. Completely designed for those who need to transcribe hours of files easily, the tool is applicable to any user's need for audio/video transcription. Among Transcriptor's features are a full text editor; keyboard shortcuts; auto-correct; auto-capitalization; auto-save; Microsoft Word conversion, and more. The tool works with a wide variety of audio and video formats such as mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, wmv, avi, mp4 and more, making it handy for those in focus group transcription or academic transcription. All in all this tool helps deliver quality transcripts in record time.

The interface is easy to use, with a simple “drag and drop” system and fast uploading. Transcriptor also works with imported videos from YouTube, online links, and the file storage service Dropbox.

In developing the tool, Scribie examined all the common problems transcribers face when working on important files like interview transcription. We added the ability to amplify sound, slow down payback, dictate and more, with some features only available in Google Chrome.

For users who don't have time for audio transcription, Scribie.com also offers orders of transcription for $1.50/minute with 1 day turnaround and 98% accuracy. The company has worked with LexisNexis, PitneyBowes, and multiple prestigious academic institutions. With this Transcription Tool, now anyone can have an accurate and professional transcription of any audio or visual content.

The tool is available at the following link https://scribie.com/transcription/editor

Ever since you were a little kid, everybody’s been telling you to live your dreams and to follow your heart. But what does that really mean, how does that connect to reality and how do you practically do that? How do you keep following your heart when it seems most difficult to do so and how do you persist in trusting your heart when the entire world seems to be doing the exact opposite? You’re probably tired of hearing motivational messages and pieces of advice without any connection to reality, especially when they come with very little practical advice.

But what if some incredible people told you exactly why you have to live your dreams, and then they told you how to do it? Would you believe NASA legends, astronauts, and visionaries from Stanford University who explored space, Grammy-award winning rock stars and paradigm-changing entrepreneurs? Would you listen to their message and then follow their guidance?

In the new movie THE AMAZING YOU, the people who literally took humanity up into space and inspired entire generations with their work share with you the new models for creating authentic, long-lasting success in your life. As you take this first step in the direction of your highest purpose in life, you can only walk forward, never backward.

Hosted by Success Engineering Corporation - www.SuccessEngineer.org - this revolutionary new film invites you to take a breathtaking journey of inner exploration to discover the most amazing you and head in the direction of your highest vision in life.

For the first time, The Amazing You unites the world’s greatest minds to reveal the blueprint for success and guide you to build a new vision for a greater future. This playground of stars includes the Angry Birds, NASA legends who put man on the moon, visionaries who landed robots on Mars, rock stars who inspired generations with their music and entrepreneurs who changed social paradigms with their business savvy.

Today, we are in an evolutionary process, in an era of high-speed transformation and most of us struggle to find more meaning in our lives. Filled with doubts and anxiety about what tomorrow will bring, we try but most of the times we fail to honestly answer these questions: Who am I? Am I the one that I really want to be? What’s my purpose in life? How can I be happy? Is there more to life than the daily routine we find ourselves trapped in?

You are welcome to join us on this journey, to discover your life’s amazing purpose and to find out new ways of making it a reality. This journey allowed the mind of man to expand beyond its frontiers and literally reach the stars, this information allowed us to travel beyond our planet, to shatter the paradigms of our false limits as people and to build the vision for a greater future. And now, this information will be in your hands.

Indie rock songwriter Andrew Adkins finds his more folky, eclectic, softer (and sometimes electronic) side in the form of new project The Colored Parade.

Nashville, TN, 28 April 2014 -- Singer/songwriter, producer and mult- instrumentalist Andrew Adkins presents a new, eclectic mixture of sound with his new music project The Colored Parade. "…And The Walls Of The City Will Shake", the debut release from Adkins' new solo endeavor will be released May 6. The eccentric, varied flavor of music found on this recent collection of songs blurs the lines between various genres and styles. Shades of Americana, Pop, Electronica, loops, samples gives the listener something fresh with each listen. Every song has something different and something unique to offer. Engaging and infectious from start to finish. The Colored Parade is the first of two releases this year. Andrew plans to release an album near the end of the year under his own name. "I wrote and recorded a couple album's worth of songs which sound nothing like each other!" explains Adkins. "I wanted to put one out under an identity, which sort of allows it to breathe on it's own. Like creating an alter-ego. The second part, I wanted to release under my own name. It is more bare-bones and raw than The Colored Parade. I didn't want to confuse people with two contrasting sounds and albums so I created two boxes to present them in."

Andrew Adkins is no fresh face on the scene. He spent the better part of the last decade on/off the road with his former band, Mellow Down Easy. "We were kids, having fun and learning. Indulging all that road had to offer and living the dream!" The band was a quirky blend of roots music and psychedelic blues. "We sold some albums, toured constantly, made some fans but never really took off majorly because nobody knew how to market us!" exclaims Adkins. The band made their last album for Dualtone Records in 2009. Shortly after Andrew started a new group with ex-members of other bands he was friends with. That band became Lions for Real. "We started the band and within 6 months we were on a plane being flown to Los Angeles by Warner Brothers." The deal fell through but they were picked up by Werewolf Heart Records, which is the home of Dead Man's Bones a band that features acclaimed actor Ryan Gosling. "The whole L.A. thing was a mess. It killed my enthusiasm and burned me out of the music we were creating. Tensions heated and I jumped ship!" explains Adkins. Shortly thereafter Andrew was offered a spot on the road in Rockabilly icon Hank III's band. "I was dead set on it at first. Hank is a super sweet guy but I had started working on demos of new songs and my head and heart was just not feeling traveling. So I declined at the last minute and decided to make these albums". The Colored Parade will be available everywhere online and select record stores May 6. "I feel the most excited, confident and proud of this music than anything I have done in the past. I cannot wait for people to hear this music! This is the album I have always wanted to make."

Can a proposed animated film project called “Dormitory II”, about a youth rebellion near Ukraine; written over a decade ago, give hope to the world?

“Dormitory II”, is the metaphorical story of many countries and peoples through out the world; a modern day “Animal Farm”, with kids instead of animals; The President, King or Leader is General Dretch, the Politicians are his soldiers and the rebelling youths are you and I; all coming together at any place, any where and any time on this planet. The story illustrates the Ruler VS Subject paradigm and how citizens all over the world, through no act of their own, find them selves subjugated by unworthy leadership and how if they don’t act to free themselves from it will always lead to ruin.

It’s a captivating story, based on an actual policy, where selected children of murdered Soviet elitist were placed permanently in “holding units”. The children’s situation is not only helpless, but they no longer even believe in themselves to the point of not existing. Enter a five year old American girl, a brilliant child prodigy, a victim of unfortunate circumstances herself; yet too American to know obedience, too American to know hopelessness, just too American. What follows next is a battle of brains over brawn, youth over the status quo and faith over oppressive will; as 21 youths, misfits of the world, show what that the will of the people, no matter what age, race, creed or color, can do anything if they just believe in themselves.

Message: Leadership, unworthy of being followed, shall always lead to doom.

A Truly Great and Soon To Be Classic Story!!

There are no empty promises of sign-up "bonuses" that you can't really cash out and there's no need for any cheap marketing tricks - fully transparent provably fair casino games with a low house edge is the way to go.
