Important: the transcription editor is not a text editor. After the audio file is transcribed, you can do things like globally changing the names of the speakers in the recording, or cleaning up excessive filler words, such as “um”, “ah” or “uh. You can also easily take out phrases or paragraphs that you may want to leave out. But in no case should be used as a text editor.

If you have to heavily edit the transcription is better to export the available text file of the transcript and import it to a proper text editor like MS Word or Google docs and finally import the file back to the project editor.

In the Docs section, go to 'Transcriptions' and click once on the draft title to start editing the transcription. The editor should open.

If you import a video, you'll notice that the editor is populated with images thanks to our Scene Detection System. To learn more about this feature click here.

The first thing to do is read the transcript and check if you can find typos, misspelled names or brads, or nuances like "hmmm", "ah", "huh", and so on. While our tool is quite accurate some transcription errors may occur.

NOTE: The output of the transcription is directly correlated with the quality of the source file. A high quality recording will result in almost 100% accuracy. If the recording is a lower quality it means that there will be more errors requiring more time to clean up and edit.

To make this process easier, click on the 'Play' button on the video/audio pane. The text is highlighted and follows along the speaker/s in the video/audio file.

If you need to repeat a fragment of the recording over and over, highlight the section, click on the text and then click on the 'loop' icon.

Highlighting a phrase and clicking the quote icon will create a quote in the ebook. It will be visible once you transfer the transcript to the project editor.

Select a phrase to add the time stamp of when that phrase is read in the video/audio. To do that click on the Highlight icon. The time stamp and phrase will be visible once you transfer the transcript to the project editor.

Notice how all these highlights are listed on the right sidebar, under the video.

While the Scene Detection System does an amazing job at taking screenshots at key scene changes, it may be the case that it misses a particular scene that you want to have included as screenshot for your ebook.

In these cases it is also possible to take a screenshot of the video and insert it in the text. To do that go to the time mark from where you want the screenshot taken and click on the image icon. The screenshot will be placed in the right sidebar.

You can rewrite, change the tone, run a grammar and spelling check, reduce or expand any segment of the transcription with the help of Wordgenie.

The 'Image' icon in the toolbar makes also possible to add any photo or image in the media manager.

If you want to change the name of the Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc., to something else, click on the Speaker icon to open the menu and click on 'Rename section speaker'.

After renaming the speaker label, you can rename all the instances of the same speaker.

If you have multiple speakers on your transcript repeat the process for each one.

You can also add notes to each section

The time stamp and phrase will be visible once you transfer the transcript to the project editor.

Notice how all the notes are listed on the right sidebar, under the video.

On the right sidebar we find the audio/video file imported for the transcription and includes a menu with some useful options:

​

After editing the transcription, make sure that you click on the 'Save' button found above the video to save the changes.

Tip: save the edits often, not just once per session.

You will get best results importing recordings with very low or no background noise or music and where you can clearly understand what the speaker/s is/are talking about.

Do not choose audio or video files with loud music or bad vocalization as these will produce poor results.

Once you are finish editing the transcript, click on the 'Choose template' button found at the bottom of the transcription editor.

You will be prompted to choose a template. Select one and click on 'Use this template' to generate the project.

After the PDF is created, this is how all the edits done to the transcript are displayed:
