Correct answer Micah Snacks

Thanks so much. The workaround I am using as of an hour ago is converting the audio from stereo to mono. When I do this, there is no issue with auto-transcript. This workaround should be easier to find (I only found it by going deep into reddit and there was a single post which suggested this workaround), or better yet the underlying issue should be investigated and solved, as you suggested.

To answer your questions:

You have several empty subtitle tracks. Where did those come from? These are from trying transcription for other clips, I believe. I have tried many iterations of different clips from the shoot, a couple different Text settings, and a few older versions of Premiere. None of it worked.

The clip is called "copy," is it a subclip or created how? I made a copy in my file folder so that Premiere would try to transcribe again from scratch, rather than recognize the clip and just say No Diologue Found.

I cannot get captions or transcripts to work. Tried all of these and also switching to mono. Nothing!

I’m not sure any of these things matter. I just updated from 26.2.0 to 26.2.2 and everything is fine now.

Converting audio to mono doesn’t solve the problem for me…

I tried EVERYTHING mentioned in this thread. Transcribe stopped working for me in several (all?) projects. The only solution for me was using the latest Beta version of the app (26.0.0)

@adb87,

This thread has multiple issues involved. Please post a screenshot showing the full Text/transcription panel, Program Monitor, and timeline.

I assume your regular PR version is 25.5.0? What OS?

Transcription was working in this version and then stopped?

Solved. I had unchecked the 'Follow active monitor' checkbox, which apparently does a lot more than its name implies. I couldn't even transcribe sources I specifically selected in my project window. Thanks for your reply.

I got the same problem, spent a lot of time searching online and no effective solution. Until I accidentally clicked on this icon. It was fixed immediately!!

In my case my broadcast had som issues with the sound due to "phase failure".
Max from Adobe gave me this helpful tips that worked for me.
1). Intepret footage and tranform the audio to a mono signal.
In premiere go to text and then hit the transcribe tab.
Choose the 3 dots (Premiere 2025 editition) and generate static transcript.
And now choose your audio track (NOT MIX track).
When done head over to captions tab and click "Create transcripts from captions".
Done 🙂

Completely deleting the Media Cache resolved this for me.

I encountered this issue also and a simple fix was to click the 3 dots drop down (highlighted in blue) underneath your sequence name in the Text window and click "Generate Static Script" and it creates your transcript(regardeless of the initial 'No Dialogue' status) 🙂

Yes, something odd is going on.

The "generate text-based editing transcript" means you already have a "static transcript," but we also see "Transcribe sequence," an option that I don't think even exists anymore. (We should see "re-transcribe sequence.")

I'll look at this a little later today.
