Speech transcription
However useful it may be, it’s hard to get excited about manually logging metadata—or as Adobe calls it, metalogging. But many editors will be thrilled to hear about one of the Metadata panel’s features: automated speech transcription. The speech transcript feature analyzes a selected clip’s audio and transcribes spoken words to the Metadata panel. You can specify one of several languages to transcribe, including English as it’s spoken in four regions of the world: Australia, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. You can even set it to identify different speakers. When you play the clip, each spoken word is highlighted in the transcript. Conversely, double-clicking a word in the transcript cues the clip to the corresponding frame in the Source panel. To find a particular word in the selected clip, just type it in a search field.
