Working with transcripts

Open a meeting by clicking it in the list on the left.

A transcript

Listening along

  • Click any word (or a timestamp) to play the audio from that point.
  • While playing, the current sentence is highlighted and the current word is underlined, like karaoke. The transcript scrolls along; scroll away and it stops following until you click Following playback again.
  • The coloured bar under the waveform shows who spoke when. Click anywhere on the waveform to jump there.
  • Space plays and pauses, ← and → skip back and forward 10 seconds. You can also slow down or speed up playback (0.5× to 2×).

Putting names to speakers

Sabhalekh labels voices as Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, in the order they first speak. Your own microphone in a recording is always You.

To rename a speaker everywhere in the meeting:

  1. Click the speaker's name above any of their lines.
  2. Choose Rename "Speaker 1"…
  3. Type the name (English or Hindi, for example Rahul Sharma or राहुल शर्मा) and press Enter.

Names are saved per meeting. Renaming Speaker 1 in one meeting doesn't change other meetings.

When a line belongs to someone else

Speaker detection is good but not perfect, especially when two people sound alike or talk over each other. To fix a single line:

  1. Click the speaker's name on that line.
  2. Pick the right person from the list, or Assign to a new speaker… if the voice isn't listed.

Lines where several people talk at once are marked overlap.

Fixing words

Hover over a line to see its buttons:

Button What it does
✏️ Edit text Change the words. Press Enter to save, Esc to cancel. While editing, Split at cursor cuts the line in two at the cursor.

↩️ Revert to original Undoes your edits and speaker changes for this line. Only shown on lines you changed.

Your edits never overwrite the original. To throw away every change in a meeting, use ⋯ → Revert all edits.

Finding text in a meeting

Press Ctrl+F (or click the magnifier at the top right). Type a word; matches are highlighted. Enter goes to the next match, Shift+Enter to the previous one, Esc closes the search.

To search across all your meetings, use the search box in the sidebar instead. See Searching.

More actions

The ⋯ button at the top right of a meeting has:

  • Re-process…: transcribe again with a different language, script, model or speaker count. Your edits to the old transcript are replaced.
  • Tags…: add labels like team or client and filter by them in the sidebar.
  • Copy transcript: the whole meeting to the clipboard.
  • Revert all edits
  • Delete…: removes the meeting and its audio for good.

Talk time

Next to the processing steps, a small bar shows how much each person spoke, for example Priya: 75% | Rahul: 25%. Hover over it to see the exact minutes. The PDF and Word exports include the same summary.
