# How do I fix a word the transcription got wrong?

Select the word and choose Correct, then type what it should say. This fixes the transcript, the captions and the exported text — it does not change the recorded audio, which still says what was actually said.

**Where:** Voice Editor → select a word → Correct.

![A mis-heard phrase 'the I native products' is selected and rewritten to 'AI-native products' in the popover, then a single word is double-clicked and 'Lilia' is fixed to 'Lillia'. The transcript, captions and exports update; the waveform above never changes — the recording is untouched.](https://mubert.com/tools/cast/docs-media/correct.mp4)

That distinction matters and it is worth stating plainly: correcting text is not re-recording. Cast does not synthesize a new word into your voice. If you want the audio itself to say something different, you have to record it.

For a name or a term the transcription gets wrong the same way every time, use Find & Replace instead of fixing each one.
