A few useful answers
Video transcription FAQs.

Transcript editing is available on supported plans. Deleting selected words removes their corresponding video and audio, so review the resulting cut.
Can I use the Storyline on a phone?
The full Storyline editing surface is designed for a wide browser window. Use a desktop or laptop for transcript-based editing.
Do I need to check the transcript?
Yes. Accents, background noise, names and technical terms can affect transcription. Review important words before exporting captions.
