Once you click on Subtitles you will see all of the subtitles in each scene appear on the right-hand side of your screen. You can click into any of the boxes of subtitles and edit the text accordingly. These edits will also be reflected in the transcript of the video which will be available for download once the video is published.

We recommend that your questions and transcripts be in the same language. For example: if you expect respondents to reply in German, write your questions in German and select German as your transcription language. This feature cannot translate responses from one language to another. If you are expecting respondents to reply in more than one language you should create a collector for each language.
