$ apt-cache policy transcribe
transcribe:
  Installed: 11.06-public1
  Candidate: 11.06-public1
  Version table:
 *** 11.06-public1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/frederik-elwert/transcribe/ubuntu/
precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Works for me. I used the first example from:
http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/practice.html
and compared with NCH's Express Scribe. Transcribe is (for me)
considerably clearer & cleaner soundwise out of the box - particularly
when the file is played at 50%. Perhaps ES can be tweaked to the same
sound quality as transcribe, but I've not experimented further.
