## What To Expect

* Changes save in-app and update the transcript immediately.
* Speaker names and segment edits stay attached to that transcript.
* You can switch between **Original**, **Speakers**, and **Enhanced** views from the bottom picker.

## If Edits Are Disabled

1. Confirm this transcript was created with **Speaker labels** enabled.
2. Confirm the transcript has speaker segments (not just a single text block).
