Feature
Edit, correct and export your transcripts
Open a saved transcript, fix names and mistranscribed lines, then export bilingual or single-language subtitles in SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT.
The transcript editor is where a raw caption stream becomes a file you can publish. It shows the original text and the translation side by side, lets you correct segments and their timings, and exports the result in the format you need. Nothing in the editor changes the audio; it only changes the text that gets saved and exported.
01Fixing what the recognizer missed
Start with proper nouns: people, companies, products and places are where automatic transcription fails most visibly. Then check numbers, dates and anything that sounds like a commitment. Each segment has a start and end time, so you can adjust a cue that runs too long or add a missing line where two speakers overlapped. The original and translated fields are separate, which means you can correct the source without retranslating the whole session, or rewrite a translation that is technically right but reads badly.
02From edited transcript to subtitle file
When the text is clean, export it as SRT, VTT, ASS or TXT. Choose bilingual output if viewers should see both languages, or single-language output if the translation is the only thing they need. The export uses the timings currently in the transcript, so check a few cues after moving segment boundaries. Downloaded files are snapshots; if you keep editing, export again. TanLens keeps the transcript only because you saved it, and deleting it removes the source for future exports.
