Filler Words - Fix capitalization when removing filler words
shipped

Blaine Moore
Currently, when using the "Delete All" option for filler words, it will take them out of the audio and the transcription.
When manually removing words and punctuation, subsequent words will automatically capitalize or go to lowercase based on the added or removed punctuation.
It would be nice if that logic was applied when filler words are deleted, so that we don't have to go in and manually capitalize the words that came right after the filler word for every time we started a sentence with "Uh" or "Um".
Thanks!

Incorrect capitals in the middle of a sentence
Harv Nagra
Not sure why transcription sometimes puts capital words in the middle of a sentence. This is silly and a waste of time to have to fix. Similarly, if you use "remove filler words" to "ignore from transcript" any sentences that start with a struck-out "um" start lowercase. It should just capitalise the new word if the previous word was the end of a sentence followed by an "um" that was removed. Examples of each of these attached.

Enable the 'remove filler words from transcript' function to remove punctuation etc in the same way it does when you just select 'delete'
Mark Wade
When selecting the delete option and clicking 'remove' in the toolbar, commas either side of a filler word are removed and words are automatically capitalized if they follow a period once the comma has been removed. When using the 'remove from transcript' option it leaves in all the un-needed commas and doesn't auto-capitalize anything - leaving the transcript a mess. If I manually select the filler words and click delete (rather than using the 'remove function in the action bar), it seems to work correctly but is very slow and the cursor often jumps around. Is there a way the same functionality when selecting 'delete' can be applied to 'remove from transcript?

When you remove filler words it often takes out the "ums" at the beginning of sentences and then doesn't capitalize the new word that now starts the sentence. Could be a huge time saver if I didn't have to go in and capitalize each sentence!

We're working on a feature that will auto-correct capitalization and punctuation anytime you're editing media (including removing filler words).

Also the useless commas before and after the filler word. Lots of time wasted to remove them

Yes this wastes a lot of time. I don't understand why words in edited sentences are not automatically capitalised after a Full Stop.
