Automatic Captions

Creating accurate subtitles is time-consuming, and automated services can introduce lexical and phonetic errors. Adobe therefore previewed an automatic Speech to Text workflow for Premiere Pro powered by Adobe Sensei.

Planned Features

The feature was designed to generate transcripts and captions aligned with a speaker’s pace and the video timecode. Adobe announced support for English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Chinese, Hindi and additional languages. Styling controls would let editors adjust caption typefaces and colours.

Availability

Adobe planned to release Speech to Text in 2021. More information was provided on the Adobe Premiere Pro Speech to Text page.
