Speech Synthesis
Speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech. A system used for this purpose is termed a speech synthesizer, and can be implemented in software or hardware. Speech synthesis systems are often called text-to-speech (TTS) systems in reference to their ability to convert text into speech. However, there exist systems that can only render symbolic linguistic representations like phonetic transcriptions into speech.

TransKribe
TransKribe is a text-editor tied up with a wav-player. The central idea is, playback can be controlled via (configurable) shortcuts, which are easily accessible from the key-position of touch-typing. For instance, the default shortcut for pause/resume is Alt-K. This can be reached with left thumb and right middle-finger without removing your fingers from the base-position. Not a big deal at all, and certainly not as elegant as having a pedal to control audio-playback, but still it makes transcription a whole lot easier.
Secondary features are automatic insertion of time-marks on each new line and alternating line-coloring while editing. Once again, no big deal, but to the task at hand this proved quite useful.
TransKribe can be compiled for KDE 3.x
