Your vows need exact wording
A wedding reel is only a few seconds, but the spoken vows carry the emotion. If the text is wrong, the feeling is lost. Sycamore transcribes each word with timing so the captions match your voice exactly.
You can click any word that the transcription missed and type the correct version. The timing stays, so you never re‑sync the whole clip. This keeps the moment authentic.
