Speech to Text Adds Danish

[TeresaDemel]

We have added Danish to the Transcription Panel in Premiere Pro Beta. Since I don't speak Danish I would love to know how well it is working for you. Please try some of your footage and let us know:

• What kind of content are you transcribing? (zoom call, promotional video, YouTube DIY tutorial, Netflix documentary...) 
• Does it do better with certain dialects? If there are regional dialects that it doesn't handle as well, be specific about the names of the region, accent or dialect.
• How accurately does it transcribe numbers? (1984, February 1st)
• How accurately does it handle pop culture (movies, current events, famous people)?
• Will you use it in its current state?

Hey!  I have a few Danish interviews to transcribe and would love to give this a try.  Any tips on how to add Danish to my list of languages to choose from?

This is in the public Beta version, so you must install that. the latest Betas use a new Project file version, so you cannot create a project there and then open it in the current release version (22).

In the language list, as shown in @TeresaDemel's screenshot, Danish is the last language at the bottom of the list.

Hi, we are a small production company that produces documentaries for tv. We translate and caption a lot, so this would be very handy if it works.

We just tested it on one of our shorter shows and it works a lot better than before. We have not been able to use the previous version as it was more work fixing it after, than just doing it ourselves.

The guy in the video we tested, had a bit of an east jutland accent, but our subjects come from all over the country.

He is though much clearer in his speech than a lot of danes, as we have a tendency to mumble and slur our words, swallow the endings of words and so on. 

This excuses some of the errors it makes, but it could be better and with time and feeding the algorythm more, it will help. Or how does it work?
some quirks though
It has a weird quirk where it capitalises the Ds like in "sådan her Din skole..." and "med Der er bænkebidere" 

It also just skips ords oddly, and jumps to the next sentence in the middel of a sentence. I'm guessing punctuation and commas are some of the harder things for it to notice? It made for some weird and fun sentences.

Over all it works a lot better than most of the programs we have tested, though it still has some things to learn.
We are happy to keep testing it for you and coming with feed back.

Do you have any plans for Icelandic?
