Preface: The conference organizer can access the transcript in the web portal, as described here. If required, they can share access, including allowing someone else to edit the transcript.
What follows details the tools available for editing the transcript.
Click on the Edit Mode button in the upper right corner of the Transcript Viewer. The resulting page behaves much like the viewer.
Like the Transcript Viewer, any individual phrase can be played by clicking on the blue arrow to the right of that line. The currently selected phrase is always indicated by a red border.
Right-click on any phrase to invoke the text editor. Buttons to the right offer the ability to save, delete, or cancel editing the phrase. You can still use the play button to hear the original audio snippet.
Make the desired changes, then use the save button to stop editing.
Once out of the text editor changes are indicated in standard editing mark-up.
