If the original submission worked fine (i.e. it succeeded) and you've just made a small change to your transcript, but when you submit your revised transcript, the Redo rejects with an error like:
FATAL ERROR: Timecode seen but no ^M, ^E, or ^B immediately precedes. Stopped at "00:00:02;14 00:00:05;08 >> Canada's unbroken Boreal wilder".
Then it is very likely that you're not submitting the transcript (.TXT file) rather a .QT.TXT (QuickTime text track) or a .ADB.TXT (Adobe Encore subtitles) caption file.
Your transcript should look something like this:
>> Canada's unbroken Boreal wilderness represents twenty-five percent of the worlds remaining ancient forests. It is globally significant in its role as species habitant, water filter and carbon storage. ^M00:00:15 [ Sound effects ] ^M00:00:21 >> This is Borealis.
Whereas a .ADB.TXT result file looks like this:
00:00:02;14 00:00:05;08 >> Canada's unbroken Boreal wilderness represents 00:00:05;10 00:00:06;05 twenty-five percent 00:00:06;07 00:00:08;28 of the worlds remaining ancient forests. 00:00:09;00 00:00:12;02 It is globally significant in its role as species habitant, 00:00:12;04 00:00:15;04 water filter and carbon storage. 00:00:15;06 00:00:21;07 [ Sound effects ] 00:00:21;09 00:00:21;29 >> This is Borealis.
And a .QT.TXT result file looks like this:
timescale:100}{font:Arial}{size:20}{backColor:0,0,0} {textColor:65280,65280,65280}{width:320}{justify:center} {plain} [00:00:02.476] >> Canada's unbroken Boreal wilderness represents [00:00:05.356] twenty-five percent [00:00:06.266] of the worlds remaining ancient forests. [00:00:09.006] It is globally significant in its role as species habitant, [00:00:12.146] water filter and carbon storage. [00:00:15.226] [ Sound effects ] [00:00:21.316] >> This is Borealis.
You need to submit a modified .TXT transcript instead of a modified caption file. You can download the .TXT transcript from the top of Details page of your original submission if it was not in the results returned to you (it is not returned by default). To get the Submission Details page, go to Caption/Transcribe -> Status of Submissions, then choose your submission.
