How to Edit Transcriptions

Phonic includes state-of-the-art computer transcription, however background noise, microphone quality and other factors occasionally compromise transcription accuracy. Fortunately, it’s easy to edit transcriptions directly within the Phonic dashboard. From within a survey, click on a specific question followed by the response you would like to correct. This response page contains all data for the particular response, including the transcription. Select the pencil icon to enable editing, make your desired changes and click the checkmark to save.
