Edit a transcript

Fix words, cut what you don't need, and find and replace across the whole recording.

Open a recording and choose the Transcript tab. Your changes save as you go, and everyone in your organization sees them.

Fix or remove a word

Click a word (or press E) to open its menu:

  • Edit changes the spelling. Type several words to split it, for example "I'm" into "I am". Apply to All fixes the same word everywhere.
  • Play plays from that word.
  • Delete removes the word. The audio is skipped too, in playback, in videos and in exports. A deleted word shows faded; click it and choose Restore to bring it back.
  • Split starts a new turn at that word.

To remove a longer passage, drag across the text and choose Delete, or press ⌫.

Remove filler words

Open the More menu (⋯) and choose Remove filler words. It removes "um", "uh", "erm", "hmm" and similar sounds in one step. Restore all deleted in the same menu brings back everything you deleted.

Find and replace

Press ⌘F (or CtrlF) and type a word. Type the new word in Replace with… and press Replace or Replace all. Replace works on single words, ignores case, and is one undo step.

Undo

Press ⌘Z to undo and ⇧⌘Z to redo, or use the arrows in the toolbar.

Export

Export downloads the transcript as .TXT, .SRT, .VTT or .JSON, or copies it as text. Deleted words are left out.
