Exporting a Transcript WITHOUT speaker and timecode

Hello everyone, 

My organization recently upgraded to Premiere after using Camtasia for years. We've been loving the automatic transcript and caption features, but noticed a change after the latest update. We have been exporting the transcripts as text files and been getting files without timecode or speaker information, and this was super useful to us as we take this text directly into our transcript template. Now, after the update, it seems there is no option to remove this extra information, at least from what I can tell. I can understand the appeal of having the speaker and time visible, but for us, it makes our work extra tedious, as we usually have that information in our SRT files we send to customers. Is there really no option to remove these, or am I just blind? Thanks in advance.

Yes, so many people wanted timecode and speaker, it changed.

Export as CSV (now available for transcript and captions). Just open in Excel or similar, copy column 4, and paste into a text or word editor.

You can choose not to transcribe speaker info.  If you do that, it won't be there when you export the caption file.

Cool, thank you Stan. Hopefully they add the option to toggle them later, but CSVs will do for now I suppose. Appreciate your help!
