Start with the words that change the claim
A missing “not,” a wrong unit or a changed name can materially alter what a speaker says. Listen to these passages against the source, not against your memory of the topic. Mark uncertainty rather than filling an unclear word with a plausible guess. If necessary, return to a cleaner recording or ask the responsible reviewer.
Use a correction list across the batch
Maintain the exact spelling of recurring names and terms, with their source. Submagic documents editable captions and a custom dictionary feature, but neither removes the need to inspect the output. A dictionary can preserve a wrong spelling consistently if its entry was never checked. Keep the list small and tied to the actual project.
Separate transcription from editing the speaker
Captions should represent the intended delivered speech. If the speaker misspoke, decide whether to correct the audio/edit itself, retain the wording with context or hold publication. Quietly replacing a spoken claim with a different caption can create two incompatible messages. Document the decision rather than letting a stylistic pass make it accidentally.
Review once without sound
After the factual corrections, watch the exported clip muted. Check sentence boundaries, timing and who appears to be speaking. Then listen again for mismatches. This two-pass routine is an original review recommendation, not a certification of accessibility or a measured improvement claim. Keep unresolved words visible in the edit notes, not hidden in a confident final export.
Use a targeted final search
After the full review, check the recurring high-risk terms once more in the final text: names, amounts, units and negatives. This is a useful supplement, not a substitute for watching the clip. A search cannot reveal every timing or attribution error. Keep the correction list with the exported version so a later regeneration does not silently restore an earlier transcription mistake.
