Transcript editing

Transcript editing is the human pass after automatic transcription — fixing misheard words, correcting names and terms, adjusting speaker labels and tightening punctuation.

Efficient editing is audio-linked: click any word, hear that moment, fix in place. On clean audio the pass is minutes per hour of recording; the highest-value targets are proper nouns, numbers and low-confidence highlights.
