Editing a transcript

Cutting, restoring and moving words, and how the edit is saved.

Cutting words

Click a word to cut it, and click it again to put it back. A cut word stays on screen, struck through, so you can always see what the export will leave out and undo any of it.

To cut a run of words, click the first one and shift-click the last.

Moving words

Drag a word to move it, and its audio moves with it. From the keyboard, focus a word and press Shift with the left or right arrow. On a touch screen, press and hold a word, then drag it.

Undo, redo and saving

Ctrl+Z undoes the last change and Ctrl+Shift+Z redoes it (Cmd on a Mac).

The edit saves as you go. There is no save button, and nothing you do changes the original recording, so any edit can be taken back.
