# Correct Your Transcript
> Use Descript's Correct mode to fix misspellings, punctuation, and missed words in the script.
Correcting your transcript changes the text on screen without altering the audio or video underneath. Fix a misspelled name, add a missed word, or clean up punctuation, and your recording stays exactly as it was.
## Fix incorrect words
When Descript transcribes a word incorrectly or misses a word entirely, fix the transcript without changing your audio.
1. Double-click the word (or adjacent word) to select it.
2. Click **Correct** in the hover toolbar, or press `C`.
3. Type the correct word.
4. Choose an option:
* **Correct** — Fix only this instance.
* **Correct All** — Fix every instance of this word in your project.
After you make a correction, Descript re-analyzes your media to adjust alignment. A dotted gray underline appears while Descript checks the alignment.
## Make edits in bulk with Correct mode
1. Press `Opt+C` (Mac) or `Alt+C` (Windows) to enter Correct text mode.
2. Click any word and type your correction — no need to click Correct each time.
3. Press `Opt+C` or `Alt+C` again to exit Correct text mode.
## Fix punctuation and capitalization
Use these keyboard shortcuts to correct text:
* Hold `Z` + click a word to toggle capitalization (lowercase → Sentence case → UPPERCASE).
* Hold `X` + click a word to cycle through punctuation (period → question mark → comma → no punctuation).
* Highlight a word, then press `C` to correct spelling.
**Windows users**
Some laptops disable the touchpad while typing. If `Z` + click or `X` + click does not work, try using an external mouse or adjusting your touchpad settings so it stays active while typing.
