Allow editing of Dropbox Capture transcription (and thus closed captions)

I am trying out Dropbox Capture. Unlike Loom, there appears to be no capacity to edit transcripts and associated closed captions. Surely I am mistaken! The ability to edit a transcript (with flow-on effects to closed captions) is integral to reliable video production. Please remedy. I won't be using DB Capture until that is done.

    Please add the ability to edit the captions in a capture video. Being able to edit the transcript (in order to change the captions) would be a simple method. Live automatic captioning software is not always accurate and can struggle to detect terminology and different accents. I work in a Deaf school; if we had the ability to use capture with editable captions it would be such a useful tool for us. 

    Until the captions are editable it isn't really accessible for our Deaf students and staff, because the captions are incorrect sometimes.

    Thanks!

    I agree - I work at a Deaf school and we would love this feature. Live automatic captioning is not always accurate, especially for Australian English.
