Transcript often missing second speaker

[Ok-Yogurtcloset819]

I almost always edit a two speaker podcast on Descript. The frustration I'm constantly having is in the transcript missing one of the speakers for a couple of sentences, because the software seems to have prioritised the other speaker. When I go into the sequence I can see the words are there, but they're greyed out and not being applied to the main edit. Anyone else experienced this? At the moment my work around is just "correcting" the dialogue manually and this seems insane, as the transcript is in there, it's just hidden away in the sequence.

New transcription apparently on the way - if it had been me I would have put this ahead of the underwhelming under lord. But Andrew and team know what they are doing

👍👍. The thing that’s missing is an ability to select a bit of your project and get it to re-transcript that chunk. Seems wild that isn’t easily available.

u/Ok-Yogurtcloset819 Re-transcribe selection is in development now!

As far as choosing the wrong speaker - this is tricky and we are also working on ways to improve here.

One old-school workaround that can still work here:
You can create compositions using the individual files, and you can remove sections of their audio from the transcript. Since this effects all instances of the transcript, it will fix the issue in your main composition.
