Googling led to https://transcribe.wreally.com/ for the job - it really works well, and it seems like something orgmode should be able to do. The idea is to unite a media player with a text-editing window. Certain commands issued *while in the text window* will operate on the media player: pause, go back or ahead 2 seconds, slow down, speed up, etc. Uniting the two eliminates constant switching between a media player and a text editor - it's all integrated and controllable without switching windows. >From https://transcribe.wreally.com/guide/how-to-transcribe-audio-interviews-faster/ > The advantage of using Transcribe over a conventional text editor + > media player approach is that you don’t have to lift your hands-off > the keyboard at all. You can control the audio with your keyboard > while simultaneously typing into the built-in text editor. Could orgmode do something like that?
