Editing the Transcript Text

You can edit the transcript text, for example, to correct wrong names.

Note the following limitations:

• You can edit only one word at a time.

• You cannot delete a word.

• You cannot add and remove blank space between characters or words.

  As a side effect, you cannot modify a word containing an apostrophe when the change would introduce a blank space. For example, changing "she's" to "she is" would be denied.

When you enter the Edit transcript mode while the asset is played back in the Media Viewer, playback will be stopped; the Synchronize Playhead feature is ignored even if the toggle is enabled.

To correct words in the transcript:

1. Click the Edit Mode button so it turns blue.

2. Scroll to the segment that contains text you want to modify.

3. Double-click the word you want to modify.

   The word is highlighted and underlined and enabled for editing.

   

4. Type the new text.

5. Press Enter or click outside the field.

   Your change is applied.

   

   If your changes cannot be applied – because, for example, you added a blank space or deleted the word – the following message is shown on the right side of the Fast Bar. You can click the Try again link to repeat the update request. The message disappears after a few seconds.
