Feature Request: Transcript Speakers

[Rob Mize]

I have 8 x speakers, each on her own track, but Premiere Transcription only identifies 4 x speakers.  

I suggest Premiere Pro Transcription feature use the different audio tracks to help separate and identify speakers when transcribing audio.

@Rob Mize,

Are the 8 tracks each an audio channel? How are you transcribing - using the mix option?

There are multiple issues to getting a total workflow that is flexible.

Does transcription of any individual channel or mix correctly identify all the speakers? (It should, but may not.)

Can you transcribe individual channels, identifying a single or multiple speakers on that channel? (This feature was added, so you can, but you can't combine the separate transcripts into one transcript.)

If you have multiple transcripts of individual channels, can you see all transcripts in a timeline, or only the top-most audio? (Only the top-most, unmuted shows. Any other transcript is simply missing, until you make some change.)

There are 8 audio channels – one for each speaker.
I’m using the Mix option to transcribe all 8 x channels quickly and accurately,.
However the entire transcription is separated into only 4 x speakers.
I then add the additional 4 x speakers and make the required changes in the transcript.

Since the audio is already broken out, it seems Premiere could easily separate and identify one speaker (or channel) from the others. At least when a timeline is laid out in this fashion.

I still love the transcription feature… changed my whole post-prod process for certain projects.

@Rob Mize,

Upvoted. A very important set of issues.

Thanks for the additional info.

Are you saying that using mix, PR identifies only 4 speakers of the 8?

Are you seeing anything like this:

Obviously, you did not reach any limit to the number of speakers, but I never understood the stacking. It implied to me that PR knew there were more speakers and somehow could track this as names were edited?

I should note that I am generating a Static Transcript.

Yes… using Mix setting, the transcription of 8 x audio tracks yields only 4 x speakers.
I then add the 4 x additional speakers, and plow through the transcript assigning each text block to the proper speaker... somewhat tedious !

I'm no programmer but it seems the information is already there waiting to be applied.
