1. Detect transcription errors

Once the correction wizard is finished scanning your script, you'll see words underlined in green. Those are the words the correction wizard has flagged as potential transcription errors.

Descript will automatically playback the section in your project with the potential error; you can either make a correction or just press Continue to skip it. Keep going until you've reviewed all the detected transcription errors, or exit the correction wizard at any time and resume later.

Word suggestions

The correction wizard will even suggest corrections. Simply start the correction wizard and hover over the detected error. If there is a suggested correction, it will appear shortly after you hover over the word.
