I'm trying to choose between Transana and Transcriber to recommend to our student for transcription (and maybe analysis) of audio recordings of interviews. I cannot find any comparisons of the programs. Both seem to be alive and widely used (Transana discussion board makes it look more alive). I came to terms with Transcriber faster than with Transana. So far we have been an Atlas/Ti shop. Many of the transcripts produced will be exported to Atlas, so the ease and extent of exportation is an issue for us. On the other hand, both programs seem to provide for the analysis (coding., annotation, search&retrieve,...) needs also, and some of us are dreaming of working on the audio-material directly instead of transcribing everything, so a comparison of these features would also be welcome. -Timo Harmo, Faculty of Social Sciences, U of Helsinki
