Transcription taking a long time.

[OldScout]

My subject is speaking Spanish. Transcribing to English to use as captions in PremierPro. Using audio track only (A1) and transcribing only from in-point to out-point. The clip is 48 seconds in duration. The transcription appears to be stuck. Showing "Creating auto transcription... Initializing local transcription engine." It has now been running for about 15 minutes. Should it take that long?

***Please note: the selected audio track (A1) is from a MULTI-CAMERA SEQUENCE. Not sure if that should have any adverse effect.

Thanks in advance....

I'm not sure what you mean. The audio/speech is Spanish. You can only create a spanish transcription using the PR speech to text. Then you will  create a translation?

Your operating system is English or Spanish? You have the spanish language pack downloaded?

I have not tried a multicam track, but it should work. I might try exporting that segment to wav and importing that for speech to text.

I must have overlooked something because after I tried a few more times, it worked fine.

Thanks for your help.
