transcriber is very useful software, and helps transcription of all
kind of materials a lot. Yet, some people speak faster than I am able to
type, and I have seen proprietary software that can make such
transcriptions much easier by reducing the speed of speech without
changing the pitch of the voice.
I recently noticed that a similar function is included in Audacity (the
free "DJ-mixer"), accessible under Effect->Change tempo, so it's neither
secret nor magic, and I would be very happy if this could also be
included in transcriber :-)
 

Thanks for the request, I'll forward this to the author of transcriber. 
I didn't know about audicity, but it looks like a useful tool.  The 
change speed works indeed quite nicely.

As a temporary solution, you might first expand your audio file by, say, 
a factor of two, and then use transcriber for annotation of the text. 

With a little xml->xml script you can the halve all the timing 
parameters afterwards.
