I expected that the tool could make transcription automatically. It's goal is make easier as we don't need to change (alt+tab) between the word processor and the player. It's a good help.

Steve Kirk argues that in language for academic purposes classes, fluency activities where learners "just speak" are insufficient: learners also need to learn to develop "contentful" contributions.
I think a) this is also true of other second/foreign language teaching contexts and b) a strong version of task-based teaching can help address this concern.
