Speech to text - Initializing local transcript engine

  • December 13, 2021

Hi.

 

Since the early preview of PremPros speech-to-text-tool I am using it a lot. Usually the audio has been uploaded to a server that ran the engine. Today the tool starts by "initializing LOCAL transcription engine". But it does not finish the initialization and does not transcribe anything. Why is that? Is there a known bug? Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this problem?

 

Thanks for support.

Best,

Tobias

Hi Alexander.

Thanks for your suggestion. But why is it? There is nothing I have changed  since the last time I used it. Why is it initialising a locale engine and not uploading to the server? Did something change on Premieres side?

 


Yes, the beta version no longer uses the cloud to transcribe audio. This has many advantages, e.g. a much improved transcription speed - so it looks like this was caused by an auto update of the beta.

 

Best regards,

Hello,

Transkriptor also works well for converting audio to text. I use it in areas where Adobe is stuck or when there are language problems.

Hi Tobias, 

I had the same problem today. After trying several times, I was able to solve the problem downloading the language pack I was trying to use and it was not available in my adobe premiere.

In your screenshot, I noticed you are trying to use it in Deutsch, but it has an icon for download. Adobe Premiere keeps trying to find it on your machine and it stays runing endlessly.

Go on your Adobe Creative Desktop and, into Adobe Premiere, try to download the language pack in Deutsch:

      The local transcription engine is only available in the Beta version. Is that what you are using? You should post this in that forum. (A mod may move it.)

       

      I am not seeing this problem in 22.2.0 Build 35. Just updated to build 43. Will check there.

       

      Edit: Build 43 also working for me.

      Hi Stan, hi Joost,

       

      thanks for your support.

      I am running Version 22-2-0BETA (Build 11) on a Win 10Pro Workstation with Intel Xeon CPU E3-1241 v3, 3.5 GHz and 32 GB RAM with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070.

      I did not change my system lately, that's why I'm wondering why Premiere suddenly wants to transcribe on the local machine.

       

      Best, Tobias

      It looks like you are hitting a known issue in one of the beta versions. Updating to the latest beta should resolve this.

      Can you please share your system info? Like OS and version, CPU, RAM, GPU vRAM, Pr version? Thanks. Also a screen grab of your issue will be helpful.
