Drastically Improve Transcript Editor

Feature Request

Can you please drastically improve the transcript editor? It took me hours to make corrections. Here are some of the examples:

  • We can only edit 1 word at a time. Why can’t we add several or whole sentences, paragraphs? One word at a time is extremely frustrating

  • Can’t edit words that are meant to be written together, eg lifespan. You wrote it as ‘life span’. And even if I was able to edit one of those words, as soon as I tried to delete the remaining one, eg after correction ‘lifespan span’ and I try to delete ‘span’, it goes back to ‘life span’

  • Deleting: Along the same lines but also sometimes when I delete a word for which the same word exists a few words earlier (not sure about later), it deleted that other word, not the one I wanted

  • Comma-setting is all over the place. In places where there should be a comma, there’s none and where there shouldn’t be one, there is

Those are absolutely crucial things that need to be changed asap.

Another one that would make things far more convenient is just double-clicking on a certain word, for instance, and the video plays from just before, so I can check what was actually said vs what’s transcribed.

    Actually adding on to this as I’m just looking at the videos created, some of the changes that look fine in the transcript are not respected in the video captions. So basically correcting the transcript becomes quite useless and captions unusuable.
