Add Spell Check into the platform (with Replace All abilities)

spell check feature for each transcription language
with a personalized dictionary for each language
a transcription algorithm that would propose alternative words notably when it didn't recognize with hundred percent certainty, but that have a high probability of being the right words because of the recorded sound and maybe the context as well. Basically words that the artificial intelligence had as the 2nd and 3rd and 4th probability

Spell-Check in the text, title, subtitle elements would be great.

Script Punctuation & Spelling correction function

It would be great if there was a punctuation & proof function, even just in "write" mode. It would be a way to make corrections that don't impact the timeline. This could either be part Underlord or by allowing access to an already existing service like Grammarly or even Windows. Which is happening now and being very helpful to me as I write this.
I've tried downloading the script as a Word doc and running it through the review edit function but then I'm left with the issue of getting the proofed text back into my composition, which makes more work for me. I could try having them open in two windows and compare them and hope I catch all the differences.
This function would expedite proofing the final product and help avoid silly mistakes that make our work look unprofessional.
It could also be considered an accessibility function for users who are Neuro-Atypical or have other disabilities. As well as assisting users for English is not their first language.

I understand you desire revenue to create a "perfect script" but, really, just let me use a standard spell checker to fix it.

Add an AI feature to help groom the content/copywriting, e.g. grammar and caption spelling. Like Jasper? So, we don't have to buy a 3rd party AI.app.

Spell check and grammar check to AI good for Script
Phil Cubeta
Just do what any word processor does. After transcription flag what may be misspelled words and messed up punctuation.

It's necessary for typos also. I find myself seeing the big blue carat for the video/audio position as a lowercase L and sometimes I end up deleting real text L's that should remain. A spell checker would catch those. The app needs two modes - one for just pure text editing and one for speech to text. That way, we can go through the doc once for the speech and use the AI features and then go through a second time to correct all the spelling. Unless somebody can think of a nice visual way to describe both problems visually
Can't use colors because 10% of the population is color blind. Has to be something that would work on a black and white page.
There is a lot of space left and right of the text and it's not used. Might be nice to have the spelling errors appear like comments on the left and the speech to text AI errors on the right and have both propose the best selections and those suggestions that match left and right have them underlined so the user can pick and know they have the right word for both situations.
Notice also that we have British and English spellings so perhaps include a UK dot next to words that are suggested for British spellings.

Also, I think the carat in Descript sucks. It should be a ^ style charat instead of obfuscating the view of the text. Just easier to read. And keep the colors to a minimum. The text cursor should be more prominent than the video time/position.

Is there legit no spell check on this platform??? My transcripts are a mess and its so manual to fix them. We would be good to spell check on platform before export

Alexander Lê: Seems we have a topic that wants Grammarly to be integrated. https://feedback.descript.com/feature-requests/p/intergration-with-grammarly
I will say that I use Antidote for English and French and it's very good. Might be good to comment on that thread. It has more votes than spell check only. I think everybody wants the system to handle correcting not just spelling, but also grammar. Since Antidote has more experience than Grammarly and since they support multiple languages and also have a desktop and iphone/ipad app, they may be a better fit for integration with Descript than Grammarly. I put a small note about Antidote on the other thread so it can be evaluated. They make specialized modules for integration with desktop software and perhaps they would be willing to do this work if Descript partners with them and exposes the proper API.

I would agree. Grammarly would be a huge win. When editing, a lot of sentence fragments, commas, missing capitalizations, etc occur and it's difficult to catch and fix them in the tool. It really would benefit from some grammar tools. I would also suggest Descript is a little comma happy. I have to clean up a lot of misplaced and unneeded commas. Finally, it would be great if it had a learning function. For example, it transcribes CMO as CFO every time. I wish there was a way that if a mistake is fixed, it could learn from that error.
