Transcript editing¶

Edit utterance text, split and merge utterances, reorder them, and assign speakers. Saving a transcript coordinates parent and utterance revisions in one transaction.

Published revisions keep their saved utterances when later drafts change.

Word timing¶

Alignment states distinguish measured, retained, estimated, stale, and untimed words. Text corrections preserve unaffected intervals and flag changed words for review.

Confirm affected intervals against the source before using them for synchronized word highlighting.
