Searching in the Transcript

If a transcript includes a large number of segments, use the word filter to search for words in the transcript.

Using the word navigation controls you can skip through the found words; if Sync Playhead is enabled, skipping through the found words also moves the playhead. See Searching in the Transcript.

Note the following:

• Search is only applied to the text in the Transcript column. To filter the transcript by speakers, use the Speaker filter. See Filtering Speakers.

• The Find feature interacts with the Speaker filter:

  • If you already applied a Speaker filter, search is run in the Transcript column of the filtered segments.

  • If you already used the Find field to search for words in the Transcript, the search term, word count and word highlighting are cleared when you apply a Speaker filter.

To search in the transcript:

1. Select the transcript which you want to view from the transcript selection control.

2. Click in the "Find" field and type the word you want for search for.

   

   Since a "contains" search will be applied you do not need to type the entire word. Searching for multiple words is not supported.

3. Press Enter.

   All words in the transcript that contain your search term are highlighted in blue. The transcript scrolls down to the segment with the first matching word, and selects the word.

   • If Sync Playhead is enabled, the word is highlighted in green. In this case, also the playhead is moved to the corresponding position in the timeline.

     

   • If Sync Playhead is disabled, the word in still highlighted in blue. In this case, the playhead is not moved in the timeline.

     

   The word count to the right side of the word filter shows the number of matching words in the form <selected word>/<total number of found words>.

   

4. Navigate through the matching words in the transcript text by clicking the Previous or Next button.

   For the first hit, the Previous button is disabled; when you reach the last hit, the Next button is disabled.

5. To remove the search term and word highlighting, click the X button in the word filter.
