Partial transcription

I am not using the transcription to do the de-rushing. As I prefer to just listen to what I said and cut.
I end up having a 8 minutes files where I only take 20 s-1 minutes.
I would like to be able to transcribe only the sequence I choosed especially when I copy them to another file
Generally I have one project to put all thing together, and many recording project that are created from the my recording. (I would also like to be able to record in on project, but it always create a new project)
And I copy only valid sequences from recording project to the mounting project
When I copy a sequence of 20s, in reality all the file is being copied and all file is being transcribed.

Re-transcribe a section of audio.

When working on long compositions, a lot of times small sections of text won't be synced with the corresponding audio. After having done a bunch of edits already, there's no point in retranscribing the whole audio file. A feature for selecting only a portion of audio out of the composition to retranscribe would greatly improve workflow.

Granularly select pieces of your file to re-transcribe instead of having to do the entire file.

Highlight or select small pieces of a file to transcribe or re-transcribe instead of the entire file.

Similar to what Jade said in that there are often large "clips" that are transcribed incorrectly or not at all. Being able to highlight the selection and have it transcribe the selected section would save an enormous amount of time.
Also gotta love when there's a completely inaccurate transcription that doesn't even come close to matching what is being said. Listening, pausing, correcting, listening again, pausing again, correcting again... over and over feels very unnecessarily time consuming and builds frustration towards the product that in general works very well.

I've also run into issues where you cut out some audio and then later add it back in, the selected text loses its transcript. I've lost HOURS of time to this -- it's pretty much impossible to recover the transcript if you want to preserve any of the other changes you've made. I've also had times where the initial transcript left out sections.
This is my biggest annoyance with Descript right now -- one of the things I expect to work, and having this ability to would great reduce my frustration with the product.

This would be especially useful after a bad build like the one last week that was immediately replaced the next day - there were halves of sentences it didn't even try to transcribe.

I would love this feature. Sometimes I want to dump a large file into Descript, but only need to transcribe and edit small clips of it. I don't want to wait (or pay for) Descript to transcribe all the rest of that file. It would be great to choose clips to be transcribed.
