# Transcripts & Captions

URL: https://docs.boldvideo.com/guides/transcripts-chapters





Every video in Bold is transcribed automatically, with speakers detected and separated. The transcript powers captions, search, AI chat, and chapters, so when the transcript is right, everything downstream gets better.

## The transcript editor

Open a video and click **Edit** next to **Transcript** in the sidebar.

The editor shows the transcript segment by segment, synced to the video player:

* **Edit text inline**: click any segment to correct it
* **Assign speakers**: click a speaker label (Speaker A, B, C…) to name them
* **Play along**: the player follows your position, so you can verify against the audio

Save your changes and captions, search, and AI answers pick them up.

## Transcription dictionary

Your content has vocabulary generic transcription gets wrong: product names, industry jargon, people's names. Add these to the **Transcription Dictionary** under [Settings → Channel Settings](/guides/settings): one word or term per line. Bold uses the dictionary to improve new transcriptions, and won't "correct" the words you've listed.

There's also a per-video **pronunciation dictionary** on the video edit page for terms that only matter for one recording.

## Captions and subtitles

Captions are generated automatically in your **Default Video Language** (configurable in [Channel Settings](/guides/settings)). Viewers can toggle them in the player. Look for the `CC` badge on videos in your library.

## Chapters

Chapters are generated together with the transcript and are editable on the video's **Chapters** tab. See [Managing Videos](/guides/managing-videos#chapters).
