3 Ways to Fix Word Alignment in Descript

How To Correctly Align Words and Audio in Descript: Step-by-step Guide
This video guide provides solutions for a common problem faced by Descript users, i.e., misalignment of words and audio. I explain how the transcription engine sometimes mismatches the transcribed words and the audio waveform, resulting in missing words or unsynchronised words and audio.
I explain three different methods to correct this problem, discussing how to use Descript’s automatic alignment feature, how to manually add missing words, and how to accurately align specific words to their audio manually.
Learn alongside me as I correct an actual podcast episode, specially shared for this purpose by Matty Dalrymple from The Indy Author Podcast.
