The Transcribe! application is an assistant for people who sometimes want to work out a piece of music from a recording, in order to write it out, or play it themselves, or both. It doesn't do the transcribing for you, but it is essentially a specialised player program which is optimised for the purpose of transcription. It has many transcription-specific features not found on conventional music players. Transcribe! is proprietary software. After installation, Transcribe! will be fully functional for a 30-day evaluation period. To buy the software, use the site at http://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/buy.html. The Slackware package doesn't need to be changed or updated (just enter the license key).
