Transcript not working!! Keep getting "No dialogue found" message in the "Transcript" tab of Text

[Micah Snacks]

Please help 

To report a bug, please provide:

1. Version of the app: Premiere 24.1.0
2. Platform and OS version: Apple Ventura 13.6
3. Basic steps to reproduce the problem: Adobe Premiere says "No dialogue found" for simple talking head shot and will not auto-transcribe
4. Expected result and actual result: Expected auto-transcribe but get "No dialogue found" (see screenshot)

* Optional: Test file, screenshot, video or gif file capturing the issue

The Transcript tab, bottom left, shows that you are in Source view. Even though we see the Program Monitor/timeline, you must have clicked on an empty Source monitor panel before clicking in the text panel.

Just click in the program monitor/timeline and see if the transcript tab now shows correctly.

Thanks so much for the suggestion however that did not work. I clicked on the program timeline and then clicked on "Transcribe sequence" but I am still seeing "No dialogue found" . . .  see screenshot below of highlighted program timeline before hitting" Transcribe sequence". Also tried "Generate static script" and again saw "No dialogue found" 

Any other ideas? I really do not want to switch to Final Cut Pro but I need auto-transcript.

Yes, something odd is going on.

The "generate text-based editing transcript" means you already have a "static transcript," but we also see "Transcribe sequence," an option that I don't think even exists anymore. (We should see "re-transcribe sequence.")

I'll look at this a little later today.

You have several empty subtitle tracks. Where did those come from?

The clip is called "copy," is it a subclip or created how?

Thanks so much. The workaround I am using as of an hour ago is converting the audio from stereo to mono. When I do this, there is no issue with auto-transcript. This workaround should be easier to find (I only found it by going deep into reddit and there was a single post which suggested this workaround), or better yet the underlying issue should be investigated and solved, as you suggested.

To answer your questions:

You have several empty subtitle tracks. Where did those come from? These are from trying transcription for other clips, I believe. I have tried many iterations of different clips from the shoot, a couple different Text settings, and a few older versions of Premiere. None of it worked.

The clip is called "copy," is it a subclip or created how? I made a copy in my file folder so that Premiere would try to transcribe again from scratch, rather than recognize the clip and just say No Diologue Found.
