Transcriber AG (non-official)

This repository is not the official Transcriber AG repository, which is here, but an unofficial repository for people needing to build it from sources, with a few improvements.

##Changelog##

Start version is 2.0.0 version plus Debian patches.

• improving translation system
• improving CMAKE general build system
• adding Tibetan as possible input language
• make compilation possible on modern systems:
  • xerces 2 -> 3
  • small fixes for recent versions of ffmpeg
  • small fixes for recent versions of gtkmm

Build and installation

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

You'll have to play a bit with apt/aptitude to get the right dependencies, but globally

aptitude install build-essential cmake gettext cdbs libxerces-c-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavdevice-dev libavfilter-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev portaudio19-dev libsndfile1-dev xsltproc libxt-dev

should do it. On some systems, you might have dependency conflicts; in this case install libjack-jackd2-dev. Then

• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ../source
• make
• sudo make install
• sudo cp -R ../source/etc/TransAG /etc/

Building for Windows

See README.md in windows directory.

TODO

• debugging Windows build (almost done)
• separate etc/, share/ and doc/ to be more Debian-compliant (and facilitate a future well-formed Debian package)
• making Windows binaries smaller (find the good mxe options)
• include a variable in the conf to change UI language (especially for Windows)
• remove deprecated functions in ffmpeg, gthread and glib (requires some knowledge, especially for ffmpeg, but feasible)
• update SoundTouch (1.4 -> 1.8)
• possibility to link against stock SoundTouch (quite difficult: Debian SoundTouch is compiled with float samples, while the code here expects int16_t...)
• OSX compilation (should be straightforward, I'm just lacking the OS...)
• gtkspellmm inclusion
