Premiere Pro 26.0.1 – Speech-to-Text Transcription Completely Inaccurate

I am experiencing a critical issue with Adobe Premiere Pro 26.0.1 on Mac M5. The speech-to-text transcription feature produces entirely inaccurate results. Even with very clear audio, the transcript does not reflect what is said in the video. For a 2-minute video, the transcription output is completely wrong and unusable. Audio files and everything else are the right ones and there is nothing wrong with them, double checked;)

      ​@kris32534534,

      This was an issue is some recent version, although it may have been a Beta. And I think it was fixed. I can’t find any of the posts. ​@mattchristensen, I think you might have posted on one?

      For example: a person in the video says ,, in 2016 building a mobile app used to cost..’’ , Premiere then transcribes it like that: ,, 16 billion moves to cost a minimum of ( and some more nonsense that’s not accurate) Example 2:  ,,and work is perfect for launching multiple apps and testing ideas quickly. Premiere transcribes it: ,,Launching to labs and testing just quickly’’ Also it leaves empty spaces even when the person is talking and then starts again with nonsense. The audio is clean and it has nothing to do with bad dictating nor some extra noises.
