Review the transcript beside your source video

Keep spoken content connected to the recording
Timestamps make a long transcript easier to verify. Select a segment, return to the matching moment, and confirm a quotation or detail in interviews, meetings, demonstrations, and customer conversations.
Speaker recognition organizes conversation turns. Review each label because overlap, similar voices, and noise can affect separation. Keep the editable MP4 to text transcription traceable to its video.

Separate turns and rename detected speakers after review.
