Why is the Transcribe Tool so Bad?

Question

OK, so Transcribe has been part of Premiere for over a year now. Why is this not doing a better job in transcribing video?

Example: Every video I start with my name. In the last 100 videos, it only did it correctly probably 3 times. This last video it transcribed as "Sheriff Powers".

If I use any other transcribe AI device and say "Jeffrey Powers of Geekazine", it will transcribe as such. Even Geekazine gets transcribed correct 95% of the time through most of the speech to text programs I use.

It's also about common words. It misses a lot that (once again) other services will catch and correct.

These are not poor audio or super fast talking videos. I feel this should be working a lot better.

At least have it highlight areas it had a hard time transcribing.

End of day, I'll edit video (using text), but if I want to put it into a video, I'll upload to YouTube, pull the transcript, then add it to Premiere.

I completely agree and would like to add, why doesn't it capitilize the first letter after a period? This is byond annoying and takes away so much time having to correct this throughout the edit. It's not just once in a while, it's most of the time.

They put periods where there should be commas. It's almost useless to use the built in tool because of the time it takes to edit everything.
