## Transcript Editor

In the ElevenLabs dashboard, navigate to the Speech to Text page and click any transcript to open the Transcript Editor.

![Open transcript](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/2359a7f6f5c82bf570c68adf2d41c78916a62f81f1dfc9445532de39eb5f2292/assets/images/product-guides/speech-to-text/click-transcript.png)

You can rename your transcript in the panel on the right side of the screen.

![Edit details](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/db9d9ad8c65bc54a6e99b7b9ce6797308cde744f35ebdfdaa9a8a3a29f10678d/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-details.gif)

Our transcript editor is WYSIWYG. Click anywhere in the transcript and start typing to edit the text.

<b>Tip:</b> Use command+z to undo changes easily.

![Edit text](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/4f877779e3c5ced07f4281d9fd4d144603b5de9dc1dee1af0cace2994b85317b/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-edit-text.gif)

Drag the handles on the timeline to adjust the start and end timestamps for a segment. You can also type in exact timestamps in the panel on the right side of the screen.

![Adjust times](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/54b3c8b45eb021a279810f7d125bc22336f7f13bdd93e527a28e9e1eccfde592/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-adjust-times.gif)

To split a segment, click in the text where you want to split and press **Enter.**

To merge two segments, click the 'merge segments' button. Note that two conditions must be fulfilled for a merge to be possible:

1. Both segments must belong to the same speaker
2. The segments must be adjacent to each other

![Split and merge](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/94b930ed17c519a70bc057701d39ed79e3cdc41fb2d39af581fd401e1e951ec4/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-split-merge.gif)

To add a segment, click on the 'Add Segment' icon and select a location on the timeline.

To delete a segment, select the segment and click ‘Delete’ in the panel on the right side of the screen or press the Delete key

![Add/remove segments](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/9db6cef9f4b4baf8f2c60e6e6280afdd11ad80aacb394dcb8906a5fbd13169a7/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-add-delete.gif)

Click ‘align words’ after making changes to a segment to recompute word-level timestamps.

![Re-align words](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/f3fb2c36a6a641bf5faa34da0af6e57ad70ba290283f09af6fabd9905c1a81dc/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-realign.gif)

There are 2 ways to assign segments to different speakers:

1. **Individually**: click the orb next to the speaker name for a segment, and select a new speaker from the dropdown list.
2. **Bulk:** to reassign all segments from one speaker to another, click on the three dots (⋮) and select 'Move Segments To'. Then select the new speaker.

![Re-assign segments](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/2f679d0d5ff2a586dbef04b98273d2cdb1bfcd44a169fb3283ff283fd5b7573c/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-reassign.gif)

To add a speaker, click the '+' icon above the speaker tracks. To delete a speaker, click on the three dots (⋮) next to the speaker’s track and click ‘Delete.’

**Important note**: if you delete a speaker, all of their associated segments will also be deleted.

![Add/delete speakers](https://files.buildwithfern.com/https://elevenlabs.docs.buildwithfern.com/docs/ccea0822dedac1b6ac693087956f8a10fb4c3bb153795ea5e1366bece125f3e8/assets/images/product-guides/transcripts/v2-editor-add-delete-speakers.gif)

Click and drag to reorder speaker tracks on the timeline. You can also change the color of a speaker track (which also applies to all its segments) by clicking the orb next to the speaker name.
