Reading time: 6 min

Navigate by word

Open Captions → Transcript. Click a word once to seek to its start. The current word is highlighted during playback.

Edit a word

  1. Double-click a word.
  2. Enter the correction.
  3. Press Enter or click outside the field.
  4. The correction saves on its own — wait for “All changes saved” in the top bar.

Delete and restore

An empty value marks a word as deleted. It remains struck through until changes are applied. Double-click a deleted word to restore the original.

Search and replace

  1. Enter text in the search field.
  2. Review the highlighted matches and match count.
  3. Enter replacement text.
  4. Choose Replace all and inspect the changed words before applying.

Change case

  • AA converts available transcript text to uppercase.
  • aa converts it to lowercase.
  • Aa applies sentence case.

Estimated timings

Words with estimated rather than confirmed alignment have an amber dotted underline. Listen to these points carefully because they are more likely to contain incorrect text or timing.

After applying changes

Edits save on their own a couple of seconds after your last change, and subtitles rebuild in the background — you can keep editing. The status in the top bar reads “Saving…” or “All changes saved”. If it says “Not saved”, click it to retry; Ctrl+S (⌘S on Mac) saves right away without waiting for the pause.
