Allow transcript editing option diconnected from audio

We use Descript to edit our audio podcasts. Once the audio track is just the way we want it, the transcript needs a way to have spelling/grammar corrected without touching the actual audio. We had been able to do this in Write mode before, but now it's gone back to having to open each whole word in a "correct" box, and also not auto-capitalizing the next word when a period is added. The extra steps using "correct" make our clean up of the transcript take a million hours. Please, please fix this. Thanks.

I use Descript primarily for editing transcripts for podcasts & video that are final - meaning only the transcript needs edited, but not the multimedia. Editing in the Descript app and browser is cumbersome, not intuitive, and inaccurate. I have difficulty labeling speakers correctly in the program, editing incorrect transcriptions or spellings, and creating line breaks, for example. Often I use Descript to generate a transcript then simply export the document to a Word file and edit there, as it's easier to do.
