Frequently asked questions
Does the transcript cleaner rewrite my words?
No. It changes formatting only: timestamp prefixes, optional uppercase speaker labels, repeated spaces, and hard line breaks.
Can I keep speaker names?
Yes. Turn off the speaker-label removal option before running the cleaner.
Is transcript text uploaded?
No. Cleanup runs locally in the current browser tab.
Can I download the cleaned transcript?
Yes. Copy the output or download it as a plain text file.
