How to build a transcript extension for Premiere using the SDK

Question

I am aware that Premiere has built-in transcript capabilities, but I'm researching whether it is possible to develop and extension for Premiere that integrates with 3rd party transcript services.

Ideally, I should be able to select all audio in a timeline, or individual audio segments, and click a button to generate a transcript for it. Maybe there is a better UX for this which I'm open to exploring.

Anyway, do you think this is possible with the Premiere Pro SDK or ExtendScript or something else? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

What you're describing is definitely possible:

Here's the PProPanel sample, which contains instructions on setting up a dev environment.

Here are the API docs.

Note: There are no available APIs around PPro's (relatively) recent transcription functionality; any such APIs won't be available until after PPro has moved to UXP-based extensibility; no dates available.
