Good trick, but you know transcribe has a spectrum analysis view that will show you the notes of a selected region, right? If you can isolate the note well enough for a tuner to hear it, Transcribe should show it to you as well.

As far as "transcribe", yes I've heard classical people use this word meaning to move a piece to a new instrument. But in common practice, outside of the classical world, people say they're "transcribing", "tabbing", "writing out", "notating", etc, all meaning the same thing. The people who wrote the software Barry's using, which is meant to help you figure out what notes are being played so that you can write it out even call their software "Transcribe!". A rose by any other name, etc.
