V 22.5--How to clear the Transcript panel in the Text window- when you don't need captions

Question

My problem-I load a clip in the timeline, I invoke the Text window, go ro the Transcript tab, and click Start Transcription. All is well, allowing for the 40% error rate i have to fix- but hey, who's complaining... The problem is, after I select Export to Text File I'm ready to clear the Transcript window and do it all over again with a new clip.  And I cannot find any Clear Transcript command of any kind in the immediate universe. Not under the 3-dot popup where by design it OUGHT to be, not anywhere in the immediate vacinity. I need the transcript for pre-edits, AKA, paper cits-- not captions! Do I seriously have to generate a captions track from the transcript, clear it to clear the Text window, is that the only way? Anybody tested this? Where is the Clear Transcript buttonWITHIN the Transcript tab??? Best, as always,Loren

Speech to Text is a Sequence level feature, not a Clip level feature with a specific workflow for the purpose of creating captions. As such, we're transcribing the Sequence when we click the "Transcribe sequence" button in the Text panel.

If you wanted to use this feature for transcribing source clips instead, I'd go with creating a new Sequence for each clip as the resulting transcribed Sequences can be used as source later (including the resulting Captions, if created); however, you can delete the current Clip form the Sequence, insert another Clip, and then choose "Re-transcribe Sequence" from the ellipsis pop-up menu from the Transcirpt tab.

hi there, I solved a similar issue by lassowing all the dialogue clips in my timeline, right click menu and select 'Ignore Transcript'.

This cleared the current text in the text panel and allowed the option to retranscribe the sequence.
