Editing Transcripts & Regenerating Content
Take full control of your meeting content by editing transcripts, summaries, and notes, then regenerate AI insights based on your changes.
What is Transcript Editing?
Hedy allows you to edit any part of your meeting content - from raw transcripts to AI-generated summaries and detailed notes. After making edits, Pro users can regenerate the AI-powered insights to reflect your changes. This is perfect for correcting transcription errors, adding missed information, or removing sensitive content before sharing.
Editing Your Transcript
Open any completed session in the Hedy app
Navigate to the "Transcript" tab
Look for the floating edit button (pencil icon) in the bottom right
Tap to open the transcript editor
Make your changes using the full-screen editor
Use the search feature (magnifying glass) to find specific text
Tap "Save" in the top right when finished
Editing Summaries & Notes
Open your session and scroll to the Summary or Detailed Notes section
Tap the three dots menu (⋮) in the section header
Select "Edit summary" or "Edit notes" from the menu
Make your changes in the editor
Tap "Save" to apply your edits
Regenerating AI Content
After editing your transcript, Pro users can regenerate AI insights to match the updated content:
Regenerate Summary: Tap the three dots menu in the Summary section and select "Regenerate"
Regenerate Notes: Use the three dots menu in the Detailed Notes section
Regenerate To-Dos: Look for the refresh icon next to "Your To-Dos" header
How Regeneration Works
When you regenerate content, Hedy's AI analyzes your edited transcript from scratch:
Fresh Analysis: AI processes the updated transcript without bias from previous versions
Context Awareness: Your meeting type and context settings guide the AI's focus
Immediate Updates: New insights appear as soon as processing completes
Original Preserved: Your edited transcript remains the source of truth
Best Practices
Edit the transcript first, then regenerate summaries for consistency
Use search to quickly find and correct recurring transcription errors
Review regenerated content to ensure it captures your key edits
Important Limitations
Active Sessions: Cannot edit while recording is in progress
Cleaned View: Switch to raw transcript view to enable editing
Cloud Sessions: Cannot regenerate AI content for cloud-origin sessions
Free Tier: Regeneration requires Pro subscription (editing is available to all)
Troubleshooting
I can't find the edit button
Ensure the session is completed (not currently recording)
Switch from "Cleaned" to "Transcript" view if applicable
Check that you're viewing a local session, not a shared one
Regenerate option is grayed out
Regeneration requires a Pro subscription - upgrade to access
Cannot regenerate cloud-origin or shared sessions
Wait for any background processing to complete
My edits aren't saving
Ensure you tap the "Save" button before leaving the editor
Check for sufficient storage space on your device
Try editing a shorter section to isolate the issue
Pro tip: When editing long transcripts, use the search feature to jump between speakers by searching for their names. This makes it easy to review and correct specific participants' contributions without scrolling through the entire document.
