P: Voice to text still remains a problem on new m5 macbook

Voice to text still remains a problem on the new m5 pro chips, I am currently using the M5 pro 16inch macbook pro, and the app just remains to be buggy compared to my m3 macbook. 

This has been a frustrating experience.

    ​@Delightful_kid7094 

    I believe there have been multiple fixes in recent versions. And there are multiple threads on similar topics. And some users in the newest versions appear to still have issues.

    We need to know your computer (and if Mac processor and operating system version), and the version of PR you are using now.

    Is the transcription completing and you are getting incorrect results? E.g. threads have described this issue as “completely” or “wildly” inaccurate. There may be many missing words or many repeated words.

    Is the transcription starting, but never finishing? Or ending with “No dialogue found” and no transcription?

      I’m using Macbook Pro M5 Pro and PR is version 26.0. I want to upgrade in the newest version but if theres still an issue, I might stick to my M1 Air, but I hope I can edit in my M5 Pro without this Issue. 

      I’m getting inaccurate transcription even if the Audio is good. Some words are missing, even those simple words is missing/inaccurate.

      Thanks for that feedback. Can you double check your language settings? This looks like the French model might have been running on English text. 
      In the Premiere preferences there is a setting to control the language - if it is set to “Auto Detect”, can you set it the English and re-run the transcription?

        ​@efford_5932,

         

        This was reported fixed for 26.2.0, but I think I saw another report of it continuing.

         

        Did you clear cache when you updated? I’d try that, and resetting preferences. And create a new test project to test there. You can just add one clip, right-click in the project panel, and transcribe. You don’t need to create a sequence.

         

        For preferences how to and cautions, see this help page and the other pages in the left index there:

        ​@mattchristensen1 I’m not sure if I flagged you on the other report(s).

         

        Stan

        Hi ​@efford_5932 
        So you notice this happening on the M5 but not the M3? That is very good information for us. I have an M3 and have not been able to reproduce this. I will reach out to the team, and we can start the testing on the M5 to try to reproduce what you are experiencing.  
        Here to help.
        Ian

          Did you tried to restart and mac? For my own experience, Mac majorly using built-in dictation through System Settings > Keyboard > Dictation. I recently switch to whisper-based AI solutions and it works better for voice to text.

          What version of PR are you using?

          literally, I am getting other languages inside of my english subtitles, example, “my first touch was a three” it came back as “but my first touch was a tres” with an accent and everything…
