Smart Playback
Smart Playback automatically stops audio when you start editing and resumes when you finish. Click the settings icon next to Smart Playback to configure:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Continue where stopped | Resume playback from where it was before your edit |
| Continue before edit | Resume from a position before where you made the edit |
| Continue after edit | Resume from after the edit location |
| Jump back X seconds | Jump back a configurable number of seconds from where playback stopped |
Confidence Highlighting
The editor can highlight words based on transcription confidence to help you focus on potentially inaccurate portions.
Enable Confidence Highlighting
Check Highlight Confidence to enable color-coded confidence indicators.
Confidence Threshold
Set the threshold that determines when words are highlighted green (high confidence) vs yellow/red (lower confidence).
| Threshold | Description |
|---|---|
| 50% (very low) | Only words below 50% confidence appear red - shows almost everything as green |
| 70% (low) | Words below 70% confidence highlighted - relaxed threshold |
| 80% (medium) | Balanced threshold for most transcripts |
| 90% (high) | Stricter threshold - more words highlighted for review |
| 95% (very high) | Most strict - highlights nearly all words for careful review |
Confidence Colors
- Green background: Word confidence is above your threshold
- Yellow background: Word confidence is moderately below threshold
- Red background: Word confidence is significantly below threshold
TIP
Start with 80% (medium) threshold and adjust based on your transcript quality. Lower the threshold if too many words are highlighted; raise it if errors are being missed.
