The wordbar tells you exactly what words a waveform represents, and it's for quickly adding or removing space between words. ## Adjusting word boundaries and alignment Descript automatically aligns your transcript with your script audio so that your edits remove only the portion of audio corresponding with a given word. In the event that a word is improperly aligned, you can make adjustments to its start and end boundaries in the wordbar to assure your transcript, [captions](/visuals/text-layers) or [exported subtitles](/export-and-share/subtitles) are lined up correctly. To adjust a word’s alignment: 1. Zoom in on the word in the [Timeline](/timeline/timeline-overview) until it has been ungrouped from other words around it. 2. Hover your cursor over a start or end word boundary. 3. Press and hold the `Command` (macOS) or `Control` (Windows) key; you will see the trim icon appear. 4. Click and drag the word boundary to the desired position above the waveform below.\\ 2024-05-31_15-33-48.gif #### Word-level adjustment Word boundary adjustments must be performed on a per-word basis. You may need to zoom in a little on the Timeline to get the trim tool to appear in tightly spaced words. ## Adjusting the timing of your script from the wordbar Select and drag a word from the wordbar to adjust the timing of your script. 2024-05-31_15-30-47.gif * **Dragging left** shortens word gaps and potentially trims script media. * **Dragging right**will extend the word gap and do one of two things: * Add a [gap clip](/timeline/using-gap-clips) if the script media is audio-only. * Add a [freeze frame](/timeline/freeze-frames) if the script media contains video.
