Add find and replace in summaries

I work with many folks that have names spelled differently than the app delivers in its summaries. Mine for one Marc always spelled Mark. Stefanie always spelled Stephanie and others. I also have constant instances of others words I’m constantly replacing before I can share that have several instances throughout summaries. It would be a huge benefit to have a find and replace feature to simplify and expedite these tasks. Thanks for considering and thanks for the great app. It has drastically improved my performance.

    Find-and-replace isn't built yet — leaving this open. What helps today: add the correct spellings (Marc, Stefanie) to Custom Vocabulary and future transcripts get them right at the source: help.wave.co: custom vocabulary Speaker renames already apply everywhere.

    I'd like to second the request. This is a critical time-saver when Wave misspells a name in the text of the transcript. Currently, I have to search for each name occurrence, select it manually, edit it by typing, and if there are dozens of mentions, I'm wasting a lot of time fixing a name misspelled by Wave. I am also wondering why Wave cannot add a simple "find and replace" function like in any word processor. I'm not expecting Wave to get every name correct, but when it misses, I should be able to fix it efficiently rather than going back to hunt-and-peck. Thanks.
