Premiere Pro transcription only displaying a few letters instead of complete words

Hi ​@murilomendes is it possible to send me this audio file in question so we can try to reproduce the issue internally? You can send me a direct message here on the forums to arrange sending the file. Thank you.

​@murilomendes,

There are other reports of similar issues, and I wonder if these are related to what is being described here:

https://community.adobe.com/bug%2Dreports%2D728/known%2Dissue%2Dinaccuracies%2Din%2Dpause%2Dand%2Dfiller%2Dfiltering%2Dand%2Dlanguage%2Ddetection%2Din%2Dpremiere%2D26%2D2%2D26%2D3%2D1629693

This report was more like your symptoms and was traced to the Mac M5 and fixed in 26.2. But I’ve seen newer reports.

In any event, consider the possibility of a bug.

​@PaulMurphy,

Another user with what sounds like the same problem reported success using Render and replace, but they did not specify the settings used.

I find it odd, since the first step in transcription is what amounts to a render/audio processing step.

Files produced by ElevenLabs sometimes use unusual sample rates or encoding settings, and the transcription engine can decode them differently than playback does, so it might be worth transcoding before you transcribe. Try running them through Adobe Media Encoder as a clean 48 kHz 16-bit WAV, then re-import the audio and run the transcription again.
