Fixing transcription mistakes

Even strong AI transcription misses names and niche terms. Quick corrections keep your Content OS output professional before audiences, clients, or sponsors see captions on screen.

Find mistakes fast

Play the clip while reading captions. Pause on mismatches. Search the transcript for common error patterns like homophones ("their" vs "there") or repeated product names spelled different ways.

Fix in the transcript panel

Click the wrong word and type the correction. Capitalize proper nouns and brand names consistently. One fix updates both captions and searchable transcript text used when you hunt moments later.

Fix timing issues

If words are right but late, nudge caption segments on the timeline or split long lines. Shorter sentences read better on mobile where viewers glance rather than read paragraphs.

Prevent repeats

For recurring guests or products, fix spelling once per source folder. Export a clean transcript for show notes after edits so marketing can reuse accurate quotes without re-listening.
