✍️ Live Caption Correction (All Modes)

In any dashboard mode — Streamer, Interpreter, or Monitor — you can double-click any caption to edit it. As soon as you make a change:

• The updated text is saved to the session history.
• It is automatically retranslated into all active languages.
• The corrected caption appears in real-time to all users.

This feature is especially useful for:

• Fixing speaker names
• Correcting misunderstood words
• Cleaning up AI errors during high-accuracy sessions

✅ Note: Only users with editing permissions can make corrections.

❓ FAQs

Does closing the browser stop streaming? Yes. If you close the browser tab or your device sleeps, streaming will stop. For continuous setups, consider using the Desktop Agent.

Can interpreters monitor each other’s channels? Yes — if relay interpretation is needed, they can listen to another interpreter’s stream if permissions are granted.

Why can’t I see certain sessions in Interpreter mode? Only upcoming or active sessions appear. Also, interpreters need to be assigned the appropriate role.
