Transcripts

Open transcript

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

Edit basic details

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

Edit text

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

Adjust segment start and end times

To adjust the start and end timestamps for a segment, drag the handles on the timeline. You can alternatively type in exact timestamps in the panel on the right side of the screen.

Split and merge segments

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

Add or remove segments

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

Re-align words inside a segment

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

Re-assign segments to different speakers

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.

Add or delete speakers

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.

Reorder speaker tracks and change colors

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.

Adjust playback speed

You can adjust the playback speed of the source media by clicking the indicator next to the play button.
