Speaker 1: After importing and transcribing a file into a composition, you can make corrections to the transcript in the Script Editor without editing the underlying script media. This video will cover helpful features you can use to correct your transcript. Here is a composition that contains an already transcribed file. Unless you're actively using a script tool, when you make an edit in the transcript, the change will be reflected in your video or audio media, like so. If you'd like to make an edit to the transcript without affecting your underlying media, you'll need to use one of the script tools, which can be found in the top left corner here. When using the correct tool, you can click on single words you'd like to make corrections to without editing the underlying media. You can also highlight multiple words and press the C key to make corrections to your whole selection at once. Click correct or hit enter to return back to editing your media. When using the write tool, you can freely write in your transcript. This is ideal for adding notes or writing a scratch script that you can replace with Overdub, one of our stock voices, or a new recording.

Speaker 2: Hit the escape key when you're done with the tool to return to editing your media. Descript has additional tools to help you quickly detect transcript errors.

Speaker 1: Click the three stars here in the script panel and select detect transcription errors from the menu. Then click submit. Once Descript is finished, you'll see probable errors underlined in green in your transcript. Now, right-click on any of the detected errors and select start correction wizard. We're here to talk about gadgets, and I spent the last... This is what you'll see and hear. The wizard shows you a potential error. You listen to decide if you agree. Then you either type the correct text or select accept to move on to the next potential error. It's kind of tricky. If you need to re-listen to a detected error, click the play icon to the left of the correction wizard's text box.

Speaker 2: It's kind of tricky. Take note of these keyboard shortcuts to speed up your transcript correction.

Speaker 1: First is the punctuation toggle. Hold down the letter X and click a word to toggle between a space, a comma, and a period. Second is the capitalization toggle. Hold down the letter Z and click a word to change between uppercase and lowercase.
