Online transcript editor for existing TXT, DOCX, SRT and VTT files

Already have an auto-generated transcript or a draft from a transcription service? Upload it to edit misheard words, correct punctuation, manage speaker labels and prepare a clean client-ready export. You do not need to transcribe the recording again.

Correct an auto-generated transcript

Review suggested corrections against the original, accept or reject flagged suggestions, and preserve existing speaker and timestamp information.

Edit speakers and timecodes

Rename or merge speaker labels and add elapsed timestamps or calculated SMPTE timecodes. These markers are not word-level audio synchronization.

Export for client delivery

Export TXT, DOCX or PDF. SRT/VTT exports require segments with actual start and end times; presentation timestamps alone do not create synchronized subtitles.

Transcript editing versus transcription

This editor fixes a transcript you already have. To create a new transcript from a recording, use Video to Transcript. For detailed client-specific formatting rules, use Client Guideline Format. Unlike audio and video editing software, changing words here does not edit the recording.

Before you upload: Check the current plan limits and pricing. Review any suggested changes before delivering a transcript to a client.

What you can fix

  • Text

    Review suggested fixes for grammar, punctuation, capitalization, likely mishearings, times, and paragraph breaks. Accept or reject each change. Speaker labels and timestamps stay put.

  • Speaker labels

    Rename, reassign or merge speakers across the whole transcript.

  • Timestamps and SMPTE

    Add elapsed timestamps or calculated SMPTE timecode. It does not re-align words to audio.

  • Draft saved
