About
The captions editor lets you review and edit existing captions for your media. You can edit captions generated by REACH, uploaded files, or captions created manually.
Use the editor to update caption text, adjust timing, and add speaker names. If the transcript plugin is enabled, your changes are reflected in the transcript automatically.
The editor also includes features such as auto-scroll, timestamp editing, and search and replace, helping you improve caption accuracy. This is especially useful for refining machine-generated captions (ASR).
REACH must be enabled on your account, and you must have the required permissions to use these features.
