Correcting your transcript

In this guide, we’ll show you how to correct errors in your transcript without editing the underlying audio or video.

How to correct your transcript

Correcting one word at a time 

1. In the Script editor, double-click on the word you want to correct.
2. Click Correct in the script toolbar.
3. Type the correction you want to make.
4. Select Correct or press Enter. The word will be underlined briefly while the audio realigns with the new text.

Use the Correction Mode for multiple changes

1. In the script editor, double-click a word, and click Correct in the script toolbar.
2. Select Enter correct text mode.
3. Make changes to the transcript as needed; these changes will only affect the text and not the underlying media. The word will be underlined briefly while the audio realigns with the new text.
4. To exit correction mode, click Edit media in the top left corner, or press Esc.

Use keyboard shortcuts for faster corrections

There are three useful keyboard shortcuts that will help you quickly make corrections: C, X, and Z. Keep these shortcuts in mind for quick and efficient transcript corrections.

• Hold C and click a word to quickly correct it.
• Hold X and click a word to toggle different punctuation options.
• Hold Z and click a word to toggle capitalization.

Tips and best practices

• Use the detect transcription errors feature to automatically find and underline potential errors in green. Then, use the correction wizard to streamline reviewing and correcting detected errors.
• Manually adjust word boundaries as necessary after making corrections.
