Allow editing of Dropbox Capture transcription (and thus closed captions)

This idea has been closed out after a period of inactivity.
We appreciate you sharing it with us, and you’re always welcome to submit more ideas in the future.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for your feedback! I’m excited to announce that we have recently launched transcription editing in Dropbox Replay. We hope this improves your workflow and makes editing transcripts even easier.

So disappointing that Dropbox is not considering this feature. It's a basic accessibility requirement and does not demonstrate best practice in equity for people with disabilities. It seems ironic that I receive Dropbox emails about all of the video-editing mark-up and feedback tools via Replay but we can't even edit captions on a dropbox Capture video. Without the ability to edit the captions/transcript, all video features in dropbox are unusable for me and my team. 

What a laugh. I will NEVER use this feature unless it allows for editing of captions. It is borderline useless as is. Unless the captions are correct first time round, which almost never happens. So, another Dropbox feature that is poorly thought through. And you won't change it. 

Thank you for sharing your idea.

We have looked into this, but it is not something we are actively working on at this time.

We regularly review these ideas, and we will keep you updated if this idea moves forward in the future.

It should not be a question of beeing able to edit transscriptions. It´s a no-brainer. Of course this funtcion should be there - actually it´s amazing it´s not implemented from the start. I really expect a large company as DB to realize this!

Hi. We make hundreds of videos a year and they're all captioned, either in British or US English. The auto-captions are often incorrect in their spelling, mis-heard names or incorrect attempts to capture acronyms and technical terms. This makes them impossible to use publicly.

Same here!
I'd love to be able to do that, because I have errors in my transcripts every time. I'm a songwriter and the lyrcis matter when I share my songs with people. 

Noted. Thank you very much for your feedback!

Hi Youcef, yes I was trying to edit the transcript/captions because they contained errors. The automatic transcription software sometimes struggles with technical terminology, fast speakers, different accents, and doesn't always use correct punctuation.
