3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Monitor live captions and fix timing

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to review a live or recorded caption transcript, your timing notes, and any flagged drops from the captioning software. The agent can draft corrections, mark where words slipped out of sync, and assemble a short issue log so you can keep the caption stream readable and aligned for the audience.

Where you stay involved

You watch the caption output against the source feed, decide which fixes are right, make the corrections in your captioning software, and note any audio or content problems that need another person’s help.

Format transcripts and proofread text

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to take your rough transcript file, shorthand notes, and formatting guide and turn them into a clean draft with speaker labels, procedural headings, and spelling checks. It can also compare the draft to the original record and highlight lines that still need your review before filing or delivery.

Where you stay involved

You check the draft against the record, decide how to handle unclear words or speaker names, and approve the final transcript before it goes out.
