Library

The Library lists every transcript in your account. Open it from the main navigation, from the command palette, or from the Library link on Home.

Add files from the library

Choose Add files at the top of the page to open the same drop area you use on Home. See Upload audio and video.

If your library is empty, the page reads No transcripts yet and offers Add a file and Try a sample file.

Find a transcript

Type in Search by title to filter the list. Search runs against titles only.

Use the tabs under the search box to narrow the list by status:

Tab	Shows
All	Every transcript.
In progress	Files that are uploading, queued or being transcribed.
Done	Finished transcripts.
Failed	Transcripts that failed, and transcripts you canceled.

Long lists are split into pages. Use the pagination controls below the list to move between them.

Open, rename or delete one transcript

Each row has an actions menu. It offers:

• Open shows the transcript in the editor.
• Rename… opens the Rename transcript dialog. Type the new name in Title and choose Save title, or Cancel to keep the old name.
• Delete… opens Delete this transcript? The dialog says that the transcript and its playback copy are removed and that this can’t be undone. Confirm to delete.

Caution

Deleting is permanent. Export anything you want to keep first. See Export and copy.

Renaming and deleting a whole transcript happen here, in the library. On the transcript page you can delete only the audio. See Edit a transcript.

Delete several transcripts

Note

Select rows with the checkbox on each row. Select all on this page selects every row on the current page, not the whole library.

The toolbar shows how many rows you selected, for example 3 selected. Choose Delete selected and confirm in the Delete N transcripts? dialog.

The sample transcript

The sample transcript is there for you to practice on. It cannot be deleted. You can open it from Try a sample file or from the command palette with Open the sample transcript.
