Limits and checks
A textually correct cut may create an awkward audio or video join. Names, overlapping speech and technical terms may be transcribed incorrectly.
A repeatable trial
Import an authorized recording lasting a few minutes with two voices. Correct transcription, cut a passage and add captions. Check synchronization, joins, names and export quality.
How to decide
Choose this workflow when text editing reduces manipulation while retaining precise correction. Include reviewed transcription and final inspection time.
