How to get the text an auto transcription from script

Hello community.

 

In Premiere Pro has a Speech to Text.

 

I want to get the text in a ExtendScript so I can run it through Textlint.

But after reading the official documentation, I can't figure out how to get that text.

https://ppro-scripting.docsforadobe.dev/index.html

 

Can anyone give me a solution or idea, even just a class or property that might give me a hint?

If that speech to text data is stored in an associated projectItem's XMP metadata, or PPro private metadata, then it is accessible via existing metadata functions.

Also, If I can output the Subtitle text and timeline as Json or XML, I can achieve what I want.

I assume the same answer for access to speech to text data. 

 

@Bruce Bullis Can you comment?
