Transcripts and speakers
Eddie transcribes every clip to word-level timing and detects when the speaker changes, which is what lets you edit, caption and search your footage by its words.
The transcript is the backbone of editing in Eddie. Because it has word-level timing, you can edit, caption and search by what was actually said.
Word-level timing
Every word is time-stamped, so cuts land precisely and captions highlight on the beat.
Speaker changes
Eddie marks where the person talking changes, shown with a speaker-change indicator in the transcript — useful for interviews and panels.
Why it matters for prompting
You can point Eddie at moments by content — "the part about pricing", "when she says 'the key thing is'" — because it's reading the transcript, not guessing from the waveform.
Getting the best transcript
Import source footage with clean audio where possible.
Multi-track audio is detected and mixed on import, which improves clarity.
