Discussion
Fixes a transcription mistake: the word reads "text" from now on, in the transcript the project sees and in captions generated or updated afterwards. The correction is saved with the project on top of the cached transcript, so transcribing again keeps it.
Run it with wabcut-cli cmd <project> --json, from an MCP client as transcript_correctWord, or from an extension. See Edit commands for requests, references and results.

- transcript.addSpeaker
New Speaker. Adds a speaker to the project.
- transcript.assignSpeaker
Assign Speaker. Says who speaks over a timeline range: the words the audio clips there play (on "track" only when given) belong to "speaker", or to a new speaker called "name".
- transcript.cleanup
Remove Fillers and Silences. Removes every filler word and pause the review finds with at least minConfidence, in one undo step.
- transcript.correctRange
Correct Words. Fixes several consecutive words at once (they read "text", split over them by spaces).
- transcript.corrections
Transcript Corrections. The project's transcript corrections and how they apply to the current transcripts: applied, conflict (the words changed since, e.g. after re-transcription; the correction still wins), restored (no words there any more; the correction brings them back) or noTranscript.
- transcript.deleteRanges
Delete Words. Deletes words (and pauses) like deleting text: ripple deletes on the tracks the words are heard on and their linked partners, cut on frame boundaries just outside the words, neighbouring deletions merged, sync-locked tracks following, locked tracks untouched.
- transcript.keepRanges
Keep Only Words. Rough cut: keeps the given word ranges and ripple-deletes everything else on the transcript's tracks, from the first to the last clip that has words.
- transcript.mergeSpeakers
Merge Speakers. Makes speakers one: every word, assignment and caption of "from" (one id or several) becomes "into", and the merged speakers go.
- transcript.moveRange
Move Words. Moves words (a sentence, a paragraph) to the word boundary before another word: cut out with a ripple and inserted there, with their linked video.
- transcript.renameSpeaker
Rename Speaker. Renames a speaker and/or changes its colour.
- transcript.review
Review Fillers and Silences. Filler words (language-aware: um, uh, like in disfluent context; Thai อืม, เอ่อ, แบบว่า ...) and pauses longer than a threshold, as a review list: kind, word indices, time range, confidence, label and context.
- transcript.speakers
Speakers. The project's speakers (id, name, colour, words in this sequence) and the diarization labels of the sequence's transcripts with the speaker each one is (null: none yet; transcript.renameSpeaker by media and label names one).
- transcript.text
Transcript Text. What the sequence says, in timeline order, as paragraphs (split at speaker changes and pauses) with the word indices the other transcript commands take.
- transcript.transcribe
Transcribe Media. Transcribes the audio of media items or clips (default: every audio clip of the sequence) so the other transcript commands have words. provider: "auto" (on this computer when the local engine is built, else the user's cloud transcription model), "local", or "cloud:"; cloud transcription goes through the user's consent, spend cap and offline / no-cloud locks.
- transcript.words
Transcript Words. The sequence's words in timeline order as arrays in wordFields order: index, text, timeline start and end, the audio clip and track it is heard on, speaker and recognition confidence.
