Hello!
Premiere Pro’s built-in speech-to-text feature creates all captions in a single track at once, so whenever I need speaker-separated SRT files, I always have to split them manually:
Create multiple tracks and copy/paste text by speaker
Or set up different styles on a single track and change each clip’s style one by one
Both methods are very time-consuming, error-prone, and inefficient. On top of that, most external tools like CutBack, Descript, or Vrew are subscription-based, which adds a financial burden.
To solve this problem, I’m about to launch a free web tool that automatically generates speaker-separated SRT files with just a CSV upload:
Upload a CSV (or tab/comma-delimited text)
Instantly download a set of speaker-separated SRT files—“A_speaker.srt,” “B_speaker.srt,” etc.
Drag & drop them onto your Premiere timeline, and you’re done!
Honestly, I started this project because I was frustrated and thought, “Let me just build something to fix this.” But I’m curious how others are handling it, so I decided to write this post.
I tried to collect a list of interested users via Google Forms to notify them later, but I found out that many communities prohibit that. If you have your own method, please share it in the comments. And if you’d like to be notified when it’s ready, leave a comment and I’ll let you know once it’s complete.

Let us know here when your tool is available. It will be very useful - in Release 25.2.0, Adobe enabled multiple caption tracks as part of the caption translation feature. For burn-in, this allows putting multiple speakers on screen at once and using a different caption track style (including position) for each track/speaker. I don't think there was any focus on the importance of enabling multiple tracks. I posted some information when this was being discussed in the Beta forum:

It has the most votes of any of the similar requests. I summarized others in a couple posts there.
