P: Filler Words not found

When I use transcription and then select filler words, it always says there are not filler words even when they are as clear as day in the audio. 

It seems lots of people are having this issue. 

I am using Version 25.1.0 (Build 73)

I'm getting issues with filler word detection again. MacOS Sequoia 15.7.2. Premiere Pro 25.5.0 (Build 13). It's detecting pauses but not the filler after the transcription. I also tried opening the same project in the latest beta build of Premiere and it didn't work.

What's strange is it seems to be detecting them because they show up at [...] in the transcript but instead of the overall count it normaly shows it says "no results".

I'm new to these forum and new to using text based editing. I'm using 25.5. Ums are not found. I'm not sure if some are found but there are clearly many that I'm hearing as I edit. Hope this gets fixed because Ai for filler words is great.

Yesterday a client hit me up with an issue: Premiere was not detecting filler words in an audio clip. Via screen sharing I walked them through the process and confirmed it was not working. On their system filler words are being detected as pauses. They sent me their footage, I followed the exact same steps on my system and it did detect filler words correctly.

 

We are both running Premiere 25.1.0. They are using a Mac (not sure which OS version), and I am using Windows 11 with an AMD processor and dual 4090 GPUs.

 

From my own software development experience, I have noticed that some speech to text libraries (and text to speech), behave differently depending on the OS. I suspect that's what's going on under the hood.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Imageflux Inc I think what you're seeing could be an issue we are working on happening in macOS 15 where the filler detection model is not able to run. It's a separate model from the main transcription model, so you can transcribe even if maybe you can't detect fillers. To know for sure, could you have the Mac user try the Premiere Pro Beta version (downloaded separately in the Creative Cloud app)? It has a fix for this and should be able to create the fillers. Thanks.

I've been using Premiere's transcription "filler word" removal for a while now, for uhm removal.

Recently, I've noticed that it's says "no results" despite showing the uhms as [...] visually. And they now seem to be detected under "pauses". Why would this be?

Mine is a dynamic transcript, it is not a static transcript. Filler words is checked (not greyed out) in the transcript view options.

I was able to get this working by followign the guidance in a similar thread:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/transcript-feature-not-allowing-me-to-select-filler-word/td-p/14660896

Essentially the fix for me was to trascribe as a dynamic transcript.  For some reason it automatically created  a static transcript and the static transcript doesn;t allow us to find the filler words.

I'm having the exact same issue. Ever since I updated to 25.1.0 I cannot get it to detect any filler words whatsoever. I've tried this on numerous client videos and it doesn't work on any. All are english speakers with very clean audio. Several videos I've counted (and removed manually) over 100 and it doesn't detect any. Causing me to have to do vastly more work than I should.

@Joshua30801942azs0,

 

I know of no workarounds for this. Be sure to upvote this bug: the number at the top left of the original post.

I am having the same issue. I have downloaded mutliple older versions of Premiere Pro as well as the most recent. The filler words just don't show up at all, but everything else does. Since no filler words are detected, they therefore can't be deleted and remain in the video. Help!

UPDATE: The newest operating software on my iMac seems to have fixed the issue. Mac OS Sequoia 15.3.1

I just updated to 15.3.1 and am still having the same issue as others...it's not finding clear-as-day ums in the audio.
