Text-based audio editing FAQ
Why does text-based editing need a transcription?
Timed transcript words provide the mapping between selected text and the corresponding audio range.
Can I select more than one word?
Yes. You can select a word, a complete sentence or a custom range.
Does selecting text immediately change the timeline?
No. The text editor lets you review the selection before applying the edit.
