"No Dialogue Found" error in mono wav source file

Running Premiere 25.0.0 in MacOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81).

 

I have a mono .wav file that will not generate a transcript because I get the "no dialogue found" message. There is nothing BUT dialogue on this track. I'm attaching a scren grab. What else can I try to get this thing I'm paying $40/month for to work??

 

 

    Correct answer bob@wzp

    Not sure where to post this but the problem stopped when I created a new project and brought the sound file into it.

    Perfect place to post. Thanks for letting us know. 

    A possible cause for this problem is a mismatch between audio and sequence settings. But this related to the audio not being on track one, and that was not the case here.

        Thanks for the reply, Stan.


        1. I did open the project from the Premiere startup screen and not fron Finder.

        2. Right-clicking on the clip from the project panel and clicking "Transcribe" does... nothing.

        3. The 2 grabs you mentioned are below.

        @bob@wzp,

         

        Yes, it looks like that should work.

         

        If you opened the project from Finder, instead, open PR first, then Open the project. Amazing, but that has fixed this problem for some users.

         

        If that is not it, in the Project Panel, right-click on the wav clip and click on Transcribe. What happens?

         

        Two more screenshots might be helpful:

         

        In the Project Panel, right-click on the wav clip-> Modify -> Audio Channels.

         

        In the Project Panel, right-click on the wav clip-> Media File Properties.

         

        Stan
