MURKO TRANSCRIBER — ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Murko Transcriber runs entirely on your Mac and is built on these open models and tools.
Thank you to everyone who made them. Your transcripts belong to you; none of these licences
gives their authors any claim over what you transcribe.

The models are not included in this package: the installer downloads them from their
official sources on your Mac.
