  • Delete removes the words and leaves a gap.
  • Ripple delete removes the words and closes the gap.
  • Mute stops the sound of the words. The timing stays the same.
  • Play and listen to the selection before you cut.

Rearrange

Move, copy and keep passages

  • Copy, cut, paste and move passages of text. The video moves with them.
  • Keep only the selected moments. Use this to make a highlight.
  • Restore deleted words at any time.
  • Find text with Ctrl+F (⌘F on a Mac).

Speakers

Know who speaks

Raymarch detects the speakers in the recording and labels each paragraph. You can rename speakers, merge two speakers into one, and change the speaker of a passage.

Clean up

Remove fillers and long pauses in one pass

The Clean up panel finds filler words, long pauses, short replies and retakes. You review the results, then apply them in one step.

Learn about Clean up
The Clean up panel next to the transcript. It lists the filler words so and you know. Long pauses are marked on the timeline.

Timeline

The timeline is always in sync

The transcript and the timeline show the same edit. Open the timeline to move or trim any cut by hand, or to add music and titles.
