Question about new Speech to Text - will it work on source clips? If not, is that coming?
I signed up for Speech to Text - and I had a question.
The instruction seem to target using this is a tool for transcribing edited sequences for captioning. Which is nifty for sure. But is there a way to transcribe source clips?
For now, I've worked around the problem by dumping the raw footage into a sequence and then generating a transcript. However, it means the timecode now comes from the sequence rather than the raw media. And I can't use traditional source/record editing marking in and out points. I did try dumping the raw footage sequence into the source monitor but that cleared the text panel.
There USED to be a way to transcribe source clips in Premiere that went away several versions ago, that went away. I think this is a great tool, BUT I think it's a bit narrow minded to just apply it to a captioning workflow. It would be great to to have Speech to Text integrated into the EDITING workflow as well. Since a lot of us are still using paid services for human or computer generated transcripts of our raw interviews. Feature request?!
