Edit the Transcript

Camtasia Audiate automatically transcribes recorded voice-overs and imported audio files. 

Audiate has two modes:

• Editing Mode: Edits both the audio and the transcription text. If you remove a word in this mode, it removes it from both the audio and transcription.
• Scripting Mode: Edits only the transcription text for voice-over recordings. Scripting mode allows you to fix incorrect words and spellings in the transcription to export as a caption file or script. Double-click the transcription to enter scripting mode.
