Love the closed caption creation on upload but how do I edit the .Vtt file created to correct our acronyms and accent? TIA

@scottkeir I have found a way to make the .vtt file work in Stream by simplifying the code produced by stream in it's auto transcript process. The original .vtt will look like this:
WEBVTT
NOTE duration:"00:04:19.8340000"
NOTE language:en-us
NOTE Confidence: 0.926972687244415
8bca61c2-8720-4b7e-bc4f-0c0ef383c7d9
00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:05.667
Hello! I am glad to get a chance to greet you in this cluster
NOTE Confidence: 0.950916528701782

00:00:05.667 --> 00:00:10.682
meeting. I was looking forward
to rubbing shoulders with you

In order to make these work they need to be simplified by removing the "NOTE Confidence:..." lines and changing the verse numbers to sequential numbers:
WEBVTT
NOTE duration:"00:04:19.8340000"
NOTE language:en-us
1
00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:05.667
Hello! I am glad to get a chance to greet you in this cluster
2
00:00:05.667 --> 00:00:10.682
meeting. I was looking forward
to rubbing shoulders with you
3
00:00:10.682 --> 00:00:14.361

When simplified this way the resulting .vtt file can be uploaded back to Stream.
Here is also a handy page that strips all of the code and gives you a flat versified text:

@David Van Leeuwen Can't access the vtt file cleaner mentioned in your post. Any updated link?

@Jennifer Bill any text editor will open and edit the vtt file. https://www.msigeek.com/11568/10-free-text-editing-tools-for-windows-10

@Marc MrozHi I auto generated my captions and then downloaded and edited the file in Word. I removed the 'auto generated' tick, but when I try to upload it says the file type is not supported. Do you need to put it into an editor to change the file type back to a .vtt? I tried adding .vtt on the end of the file name but this doesn't work

You'll need to save the file as a text file first (.txt) then change the extension to .vtt @Ruhurl

@David Van Leeuwen Thanks I will give that a try - just by resaving .vtt?
