Retranscribing does not translate your video. The Transcript language setting tells Tella which language to transcribe the audio from — it must match what was actually spoken in the video. Selecting English for a Spanish-language recording will not produce English subtitles; Tella does not translate transcripts or subtitles into other languages.
How to retranscribe
- Open your video in the Tella editor.
- Open Script in the sidebar.
- Click the language button in the bottom-left corner of the Script panel.
- Select the language that matches what was spoken in the video.
- Click Update.
When to retranscribe
- Wrong language detected: If the auto-detected language doesn’t match what was spoken, select the correct language and update.
- Mixed languages across clips: If your video has multiple clips with different transcript languages, you’ll see a “Mixed” status. Select the single language that was spoken to unify the transcript across all clips.
- Improve accuracy: If you’ve added terms to your transcript dictionary, retranscribing will apply those terms to the new transcription.
