Unable to change or edit speaker names in transcript

I am using Premiere Pro 22.6.2 (Build 2). I have Premiere transcribe a sequence and check the box for it to recognize different speakers. All good.

 

But when I click on the speaker in the transcription window, it does not allow me to change to another speaker. And when I choose to edit the speaker name, the same does not save.

 

I used to be able to do this and it's a great feature. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix?

    I'm also having this issue on Premiere Pro 22.6.2 (Build 2) on a Mac. 

     

    Go to edit the speakers name, hit save and nothing happens. This only seems to happen every now and again. Sometimes it'll work fine but most of the time, it doesn't.

      Hi Kevin, Hi Liam,

      Sorry. It is super odd that you are having the same issue. I tried a test and could not reproduce the issue. If you have a project exhibiting the issue, you can PM me the project file, and I can have the team take a look.

       

      Thanks,
      Kevin

      Kevin, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem, even on the project where I first encountered the problem. It seems to be working fine right now. The best I can say is that I will report back if it flairs up gain.

      Kevin,

       

      Also 22.6.2; Win 10.

       

      I tested a simple transcription, and I am able to change speaker and edit speaker  name. And edits/changes persisted when I closed PR and reopened the project.

       

      At a loss as to what could cause what you are seeing.

       

      Stan

      *And when I choose to edit the speaker name, the name does not save. Sorry about that typo.
