I use a Sony TX650 device for recording audio notes. It allows me to increase/decrease the playback speed and helps me in faster transcription. However, it is not always efficient because when doing a transcription on a machine, I need to juggle between the player’s controls as well as the keyboard.
To alleviate that, I created an offline transcription software. It is a single page HTML file and using Javascript and HTML5 Local Storage you can do transcription of both your audio and video files – and export the content.

Very nice point, but I would also add that I am using a service that is transcribing speech to text (https://audext.com/speech-to-text/). It is fast and helpful.
