Easy to use and the automatic time stamps are wonderful. > > **Cons**: Renewal is a hassle. I have to change license key and redownload info every time. It would be nice if existing license key could just be updated to continue service. > > I would not do transcription without it. It makes my job easier. Others do not give the advantages such as time stamps, easy to use, settings easy to manipulate. ----- ### "GREAT PLAYER EXCEPT FOR HOT KEY FUNCTION" — 4.0/5 > **Mollie** | *10 August 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is my go-to audio player. I rarely use other players. I love all features, especially when they added the button to go to a specific spot in audio. The audio, to me, plays clearer and more precise with this player. It's very easy to use and navigate around. It rarely glitches and the support is great. They respond very quickly and give a workable solution. > > **Cons**: The one thing I really hate about this player is you cannot use your keypad when using this player because they have assigned certain numbers, like 8 or 5 or 2, to a hot key function. I use my keypad a lot while typing, and I absolutely hate this feature and wish they would do away with it completely, or give an option to opt out of this feature. Then this would be the perfect player for me. This is why I cannot give five stars. > > I have use FTW for years and years for my transcription needs and love it. I have not had a bad experience, except with the hot key function. I DO NOT LIKE THAT. ----- ### "A must-have for any transcriptionist." — 5.0/5 > **Mel** | *2 September 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ability to jump to a specific timestamp and to listen at a higher speed. > > **Cons**: I had to redownload it, and I couldn't remember all my previous settings and shortcuts because they all changed to default. I wish I could use the same key for multiple computers. I have had to buy it four times for four different computers. > > The company is very fast at responding and helping troubleshoot any issues. They also take feedback and ideas. FTW is highly recommended in the transcription group I am in. I would not be able to work without it. I have tried another popular free audio player, and it crashed my computer constantly. FTW is fantastic\! ----- ### "Wonderful product" — 5.0/5 > **Faith** | *27 April 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The sound quality is excellent, easy to use also with FX Sound. The best in the business. No comparison to ES. > > **Cons**: Nothing I can think of. It would be great, however, to use this with FTR's extensions as well. > > Been using it for at least 15 yrs and just renewed again. Cost is worth every penny and it even works when the internet is down. ----- ### "Best option" — 4.0/5 > **Katrina** | *9 April 2024* | Executive Office | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the bookmark feature and use this constantly. It's great if you take a break but need to remember exactly where you were up to. It also helps if you are trying to identify different voices to bookmark each voice and then be able to easily listen to compare. The timecoding feature is absolutely essential and I love that you can change the setup of how the timecode is displayed in your document. > > **Cons**: I wish there was a volume boost button (aside from the actual volume slide). Sometimes audio can be on the quiet side and this is one function I have noted in other transcriber software that would be extremely helpful. > > Absolutely outstanding\! I got stuck making a payment to renew my licence and the email support team were absolutely amazing - quick and sorted everything for me instantly. I was very pleasantly surprised and exceptionally grateful\! ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/102854/the-ftw-transcriber?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/102854/the-ftw-transcriber) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
