Search and replace

Transcription engines are good, but a niche product name or an unusual surname can come out wrong — and it tends to come out wrong every single time it's spoken. Search and replace in the text view turns that from an afternoon of scrolling into a single click.

Finding text

Click the search icon in the bar above the transcript and start typing. Matching text highlights live throughout the transcript and a counter shows how many captions matched. Press Enter to jump to the next match and Shift+Enter for the previous one — the view scrolls each match into the center as you go. Matching is case-insensitive, so "inwista" finds "Inwista" too.

Replacing — one match or all of them

Open the dropdown next to the search icon and switch to Search and Replace. A second field appears for the replacement text. Replace corrects the current match and moves you to the next one — perfect when most hits are right but a few need judgement. Replace all corrects every match in one go.

Replacements are ordinary caption edits: the video's captions update immediately, and the change is autosaved into your revision history like any other edit.

When it shines — and how to avoid needing it

Typical wins: a person's name misheard the same way in forty captions, a product name that should be capitalized, an industry term the engine didn't know. Fix it once, everywhere.

And a tip for next time: add those recurring names and terms to a glossary before transcribing, and Inwista will get them right from the start — search and replace becomes the safety net rather than the routine.
