Free digital transcription software for linux

Avis is an event router service compatible with the commercial Elvin implementation developed by Mantara Software. The project provides a general-purpose, scalable publish/subscribe message bus using content-based subscriptions.
Elvin is a flexible event router that allows arbitrary messages (a.k.a. notifications) to be exchanged via a publish/subscribe model. Elvin clients subscribe to messages using expressions that match messages by their content, an approach that differs from most other message bus systems that operate by selecting messages published on pre-defined channels. Elvin routers can also be federated to construct high-efficiency, wide-area event networks.
The name "Avis" derives from the French word avis, meaning advice or notification.
Applications:
Current uses for Elvin include providing the message bus for instant messaging and virtual presence, device coordination for smart meeting rooms and distributed speech transcription for meetings. It has also been used extensively by Mantara for high-volume financial transaction routing.
Elvin has picked up in so many applications because of its lightweight approach and flexibility. See the examples page to see how it can be employed.
Enhancements:
- This release corrects a number of errors in the router and brings the subscription language parser in closer compliance with the specification.
- All users are advised to upgrade.

XML Digital Signature Tool is a Firefox extension that can process Digital Signature in XML documents (as per W3C standard for XML signature: http://www.w3.org/Signature/).

The XML digital signature tool is built on top of Apache XML security C library (version 1.3), called XSEC (http://xml.apache.org/security/c/index.html). We made no changes to XSEC source code. We just compiled the source with NSS option to provide cryptographic functionality using browsers CERT DB. The recompiled XSEC library is packaged with the XPI file for this extension.

In addition, this tool provides an XPCOM based API for wrapping C++ based Apache XML security library. Our XPCOM IDL based API allows any Firefox based extension to access XSEC library using JavaScript and C++. This tool also provides XUL based GUI for specifying various parameters for signing XML files and verifying signed XML files.

The Apache XSEC c-library uses the Apache XML projects (http://xml.apache.org/) Xerces-C XML Parser and Xalan-C XSLT processor. The latter is used for processing XPath and XSLT transforms. This tool does not include the DLL or shared library for Xercrs-C or Xalan-C. You have to download and install Apache XERCES for C (v1.3.0) and XALAN tools for C (v.1.10) before you can run this extension. The path for shared libraries or DLL of XERCES and XALAN must be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (for Unix) or PATH (for windows).

In addition, the tool provides following features:

- ability to generate Self-Issued SAML Token (both v1.1 and v2.0) using the RSA/DSA keys in the certificate DB. (http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/) The SAML Token generation is implemented using a XPCOM based componenet.
- XPCOM based API for UUID generation. The XPCOM implementation resues the UUID generation source code in the RFC4122 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt). We have adpated the source code for Mozilla NSS based digest and added string based UUID API.

Note: This tool only works on Windows and Linux OSes.
