Review and Correct a Transcript
ScreenApp has inline transcript editing, including AI proofreading: what you get is a transcript next to the recording, so you can check the two against each other, edit the text directly, and have the AI proofread a section. Upload a video or audio file, or paste a link, and once it is transcribed the player and the text stay in sync so you can jump to any line and listen.
You get an editable, checkable transcript rather than a block of text you have to trust blind. If a name or a technical term keeps coming out wrong, add it to your vocabulary list before you transcribe the next recording and the model will recognize it.
What you get:
- inline transcript editing, including AI proofreading
- clicking a moment in the transcript jumps the player to that point in the recording
- speaker identification, and click a speaker label to rename it, match it to a team member, or reassign a single segment
- custom vocabulary for transcription, so recurring names and jargon are recognized on future recordings
- AI chat with any recording, useful for spotting inconsistencies or asking it to rewrite a section
- search across recordings by name or transcript
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT once you are happy with it
How to Review a Transcript
- Upload or import the recording: Add a video or audio file, or paste a YouTube, Vimeo, or media link. ScreenApp transcribes it automatically.
- Play it back against the text: Click any line in the transcript to jump the player to that moment and listen. Rename a speaker label and the change applies everywhere that speaker appears.
- Edit the text or ask the AI to proofread it: Fix a word directly in the transcript, or use AI chat if you want a section rewritten without filler words, or to check a name is spelled consistently. Export the transcript once you are done.
Accuracy still comes down to the audio: a clear recording with one person speaking at a time needs the least correction. Custom vocabulary helps most with names and jargon a general model has no reason to know. See how we measure accuracy.

Who Reviews Transcripts

Journalists verify a quote is word for word before it goes in a story, playing the exact moment back rather than re-listening to the whole interview.
Students clean up a lecture or interview transcript before citing it in an assignment, and use AI chat to tidy a section without filler words.
Legal and compliance teams check names, dates, and terms in a call or meeting transcript against the audio before it goes into a file, and add case-specific vocabulary so it transcribes correctly next time.
Content teams correct a podcast or video transcript before turning it into show notes or captions, using search to find and fix a misheard term everywhere it appears.
