The BMS Lab is proud to announce the availability of ScriBe!
ScriBe is our new collaborative platform designed to transform the way researchers work with audio and video. ScriBe aspires to become a complete media playground where users can upload, visualise, and analyse their audio and video recordings in detail.
At the heart of ScriBe is its speaker diarisation feature – the process of automatically splitting audio or video into individual segments based on the speaker’s voice. In other words: ScriBe helps you answer the question “who said what, and when?” This functionality, combined with highly accurate speech-to-text transcription, opens new possibilities for researchers working with interviews, focus groups, or any other kind of recorded conversation and inegrating it with wearable data.
Once a file is uploaded, users can navigate through three core views:
- Data Table – Displays diarised segments with timestamps and speaker identifiers. Speaker numbers can be easily renamed to match real participants. Transcriptions are added automatically, and new columns can be created for user-defined tags.
- Visualisation Table – Offers interactive ways to explore the conversation, such as tracking how often certain topics arise.
- Media View – Allows direct playback of the original file alongside the annotated and diarised data.
By tagging segments with themes or topics, researchers can follow the flow of a conversation and identify patterns.
ScriBe’s combination of diarisation, transcription, and flexible tagging makes it a powerful new tool for qualitative and mixed-methods research, offering insights that were previously time-consuming or difficult to obtain.
ScriBe is now available upon request registration. Once the registration is approved, you will be able to access ScriBe trhough the user service.
