The record

Purpose: Transcribe! assists people in working out music from recordings so they can write it out or play it themselves; it does not do the transcription for them.
Playback tools: It can slow music without changing pitch, change pitch and speed, and store and recall named loops.
Waveform navigation: The waveform view supports markers for sections, measures and beats, descriptive labels, textual annotations, and playback from selected points.
Chord analysis: Its spectrum feature displays pitch strengths, and note and chord guessing can show estimates on a piano keyboard or piano roll.
Audio and video: It reads many audio file types and audio CDs, can record from analog sources such as cassette or vinyl, and can display video for most video files.
Effects: Real-time effects include slowdown, pitch change, EQ filtering, mono or karaoke mixing, tuning, transposition, and variable speed from one twentieth to double speed.
Automation: Automation or scripting can run commands from a file to process sound files or play files with selected effects.
Practice and speech use: The maker says the software is also used for play-along practice and speech transcription, with foot-pedal support and slowed-down playback.
Not a notation generator: Transcribe! does not process an audio file and output musical notation or MIDI, and it does not handle MIDI files.
Not an audio editor: The maker says Transcribe! plays and records audio and can save modified audio to a new sound file, but it is not an audio editor.
License: One license permits use on one computer, or up to three computers if the program is for the buyer's exclusive use on all of them.
Platforms and mobile support: The product is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux; the maker says there is no iPad, iPhone, or Android version and none is planned.
Support: The maker asks users to check the FAQ first and provides an email address for remaining software questions.
Company and author: The site identifies Seventh String Software as the maker and names Andy Robinson as the author of Transcribe!.
