Cohost AI Transcription Editor

Cohost AI does all the busy work for you, it will produce title suggestions, episode descriptions, chapter markers, social media posts, blog posts, and transcripts. You can expect Cohost AI to give you a great first draft. Sometimes, your Cohost AI transcription will need minimal edits, let's walk through how to use the Cohost AI Transcription Editor!

Pro Tip: When editing your transcript, focus on correcting any people, places, or things that may have had their names misspelled, and do a quick review for any major mistakes. We recommend spending 15 minutes or less editing your transcription.  

Using the Cohost AI Transcription Editor

To get started, head to the episode's details page, and click Edit in the Transcript section on the right side of the page.

Naming Speakers

When you first click Edit to get into the editor, Cohost AI will prompt you to name the detected speakers. Adding the speaker names will give your transcript more of a personal touch. You can add the speaker's name and role.

Note: If you aren't sure who the speaker is, click the play button to hear an audio sample of that speaker! CleanShot 2024-08-02 at 12.43.15@2x.png

Changing a Speaker

If you would like to change the speaker selected for a specific section, you can choose from the speakers that you have already added to your list or add a new speaker. Just click the icon next to the speaker name, and select a new speaker from the dropdown menu. CleanShot 2024-08-18 at 11.20.07@2x.png
