> TL;DR: Type "It's spelled Vidiyo, not video. Fix it everywhere" and Vidiyo finds every caption where the transcriber misheard that word, replaces the text with your spelling, and keeps each word's timing. The source transcript stays untouched, and the assistant can remember the spelling so later projects get it right.

## What to say

> It's spelled Vidiyo, not video. Fix it everywhere

Category: Captions

## What Vidiyo does

1. Searches the transcript for every place the word was heard.
2. Checks the context so it only changes the instances that mean your name or product.
3. Overrides the caption text for those words, keeping their timing and style.
4. Leaves the source transcript as it was, so cuts by word keep working.
5. Saves the spelling to memory when you ask, for future projects.

Speech recognition is good with everyday words and weaker with names, brands and jargon. One wrong spelling of your own product name in burned-in captions is the kind of mistake viewers notice. This prompt fixes it everywhere at once.

## What does Vidiyo do when you say this?

Vidiyo searches your transcript for every place the misheard word appears, checks which ones actually mean your name or product, and overrides the caption text for those words. Their timing and style stay as they were. The source transcript isn't rewritten, so anything that edits by words keeps working.

The context check matters. If your video says "video" as a normal word and also says your product name, which the transcriber heard as "video", the assistant changes only the second kind. If it can't tell, it asks. Say "always spell it this way" and it saves the spelling to memory so the next project starts correct.

## How do you phrase it?

Give the right spelling and, if you can, what it was heard as:

- "It's spelled Vidiyo, not video. Fix it everywhere"
- "My name is Ajay Pawriya. Fix it in the captions"
- "Change 'cloud code' to 'Claude Code' throughout"
- "The caption at 0:14 should say 'Buffer', not 'buffa'"
- "Always spell our product as AcmeOS"

A timestamp is the quickest way to fix one caption. "Throughout" or "everywhere" fixes every match the assistant agrees is the same word.

## How would you do this by hand?

By hand, you read through every caption looking for the wrong spelling, retype each one, and hope you didn't miss any. In a long video with a product name said twenty times, that's a careful read of the whole caption track. Find-and-replace helps, but it can't tell your product name from the ordinary word it was heard as.

## What should you check afterwards?

Skim the captions once for other names and numbers, since one misheard word often means others nearby. Numbers can be written as words or digits, so say which you prefer, like "use digits for prices". If you fix the same word in two projects, ask Vidiyo to remember it.

## Honest limits

- Hindi transcribes in Devanagari, so Hinglish captions need more words fixed by hand than English ones.

## Frequently asked questions

### Will it change every "video" in my captions?

No. The assistant reads the context and only changes the places where you meant the name. If it's unsure about one, it asks or lists them for you.

### Can I fix a caption by hand instead?

Yes. The captions panel has a Transcript tab where you can edit any word and its timing directly.

### Does fixing a caption change my edit?

No. The correction only changes what the caption shows. The timing, the cut and the transcript the assistant edits from stay the same.
