Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any special software to use the interactive editor?

No. The editor is browser-based, so you can access it from any desktop or laptop without installing extra software or plugins.

Can I still use the AI analysis if I don’t want it to affect my transcript?

Absolutely. The AI features run in the background and produce separate summaries, titles, or keyword suggestions. You decide whether to include or ignore them.

Is my audio synced automatically if I make major edits?

Yes. The editor continuously updates the time stamps and synchronizes them to the corrected text. You won’t lose your place, even with substantial revisions.
