<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Parlatype (that is libparlatype) is the core library for
the Parlatype program, a basic audio player intended for speech transcription.
The library is published separately as it might be useful for other applications
as well.</para>
<para>PtPlayer is the core GStreamer backend that can be used as an audio
player. PtWaveviewer is a GtkWidget to show a wave form and uses PtWaveloader
to extract the wave form from a given file.</para>
<para>Parlatype is stable. That means that the library is versioned,
API changes are documented, however, it changes frequently.</para>
<para>The library versioning is decoupled from release versions. The current
release is &version;, the API version is &apiversion; (for GObject introspection) and the
library’s soname is &soname;.</para>
