## Introduction

Parlatype (that is libparlatype) is the core library for the Parlatype program, a basic audio player intended for speech transcription. The library is published separately as it might be useful for other applicatons as well.

PtPlayer is the core GStreamer backend that can be used as an audio player. It uses internally PtWaveloader to extract the wave form from a given file. This data is boxed in a PtWavedata struct that can be passed to PtWaveviewer, a GtkWidget showing the wave form.

This is the first public release of Parlatype, it is still unstable and might change with the next minor release.
