Navigate to the file you want to edit by clicking on its name when it's done transcribing. You can edit the transcript by clicking on the text you want to change and it will start playing where that word occurs in the audio. You can edit, copy paste and do all the usual editing one would normally do in a text file or word document. You can make use of the keyboard shortcuts to make editing faster.
