Speech-to-Text on Ukrainian

[dnp_visual]

Is it any chance for Speech-to-Text to get a Ukrainian language support in Premiere Pro? That is a huge time saver feature, but it isn't available on Ukrainian. All Ukrainian creators would be eternally grateful for our language support in this great software.

Please! It is very necessary!

In Ukraine, there is now a big boom for all content in the Ukrainian language, and subtitles are a way to keep the audience watching the video, and when you need to make subtitles for an hour-long or short video in the Ukrainian language, there is always a need to use other services that transcribe the video and create an SRT file. It is not convenient and takes a lot of time. If the ability to create subtitles in Ukrainian was added to the premiere, it would probably be the most frequently used function for me, for sure, and hundreds of thousands more creators like me in Ukraine. 

For me, creating a video now looks like this:
I load the material into the premiere, edit the video itself, color it, cut out some moments that I don't like, work on the sound, and then export this video. And that should be all, but no!
Then I throw the almost finished video into the neuron network, which is now the entire Internet, they transcribe it and create a SRT file, it can take either 30 minutes or 2 hours of time.
Later I load this SRT file into an already open video project, adjust the subtitles, add music, and only here my work comes to an end.
This is all very long and takes a lot of important time that can be spent on other projects, but while the premiere does not support automatic subtitles in Ukrainian, I need to work much more.

How I can add Ukrainian vocabulary for create text captions?

Do the developers plan to make auto-transcription for the Ukrainian language?

Adobe really needs to include Ukrainian as a main language pack for speech-to-text, there is now such a large demand for Ukrainian language videos, that this should have been implented by now. Adobe please add Ukrainian language pack to the speech-to-text!

Hi! Adobe Premiere Pro is the industry icon. You're always trying to be far from competitors. And you are making it. Thanks! But I'm missing the ability to use all pros from Premier Pro. Transcribe for example. Because there is no Ukrainian language in this feature. Dear developers PMs and all the others who make our life better, please add Ukrainian language to captions feature! It will make urainian Premiere Pro users even more happy! 

[Volydemar]

I completely agree, why is there still no support for Ukrainian language in subtitles??? any other program on smartphone can do it, Premiere pro, why???

[motrya_555]

Please, please, please - add the Ukrainian language to Adobe Premiere Pro. I see people have been asking for the last two years. Especially with the current war, it really makes a different and helps to amplify Ukrainian voices and stories. .

I remember that there used to be a page somewhere here where you could request a feature. You could use it to request adding the Ukrainian language, I  just can't remember where it was. Maybe someone here knows.

Hello! Can you please repost and resend me this link?

I wanted to forward to friends, but once I filled it out myself - it only
gives the same Thank you Message and no longer the option to put in ones
information.

Please advise.

Thank you

It was 2025, and the company will not support the Ukrainian language for subtitles, although the Russian language is supported (this is funny because Russia is destroying Ukraine, and the company will not remove Russian and does not add Ukrainian). This forces me to refuse to subscribe and switch to competitors.

Dear Adobe Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

As a long-time user and admirer of Adobe products, I’m reaching out on behalf of many Ukrainian content creators, editors, and media professionals who rely on Premiere Pro to tell stories that matter — now more than ever.

For over three years, Ukraine has been defending itself against Russia’s full-scale invasion. In addition to military aggression, we face enormous psychological and informational warfare — a state-sponsored disinformation campaign designed to undermine truth and democratic values. Every day, Ukrainian creators counter these efforts with honest, powerful storytelling. Adobe Premiere Pro is at the heart of that effort.

However, there is one persistent issue that continues to limit our efficiency: Ukrainian language is still not available in the Premiere Pro subtitle tools. This means that for three years, every subtitle for Ukrainian-language videos must be added manually, consuming valuable time and resources in a time-critical, high-stakes environment.

We kindly ask: could Adobe please consider supporting Ukrainian in its automatic transcription and subtitle functionality?

It’s just one language, yet its inclusion could make a tremendous difference — not just for workflow, but for the global reach of truthful Ukrainian narratives. We believe in Adobe’s mission to empower creators and storytellers, and we sincerely hope that someone on your team will recognize the importance of this request.

Thank you for your attention and the incredible tools you provide. We remain hopeful for your support.

Warm regards,

Dear Adobe Team,

I’m writing as a dedicated user of Adobe Premiere Pro and a creative professional based in Ukraine.

For the past several years, Ukrainian content creators have been working under extremely challenging conditions, producing videos that inform, educate, and inspire — often under time pressure. Many of us use Premiere Pro daily to subtitle and export videos in the Ukrainian language.

Unfortunately, Ukrainian is still not available as an option in the automated subtitle tools. As a result, we must enter subtitles manually, which is highly time-consuming.

Given the large number of Ukrainian users and the growing need for localization tools in our language, I kindly ask your team to consider adding Ukrainian to the list of supported subtitle/transcription languages in future updates.

This single addition would greatly improve workflow and accessibility for thousands of creators.

Thank you for your time, your tools, and your commitment to supporting global creative communities.

Warm regards,
A.

Hello Adobe Team!
We would love to see Ukrainian language added to the captions feature.
There are more than 40 million Ukrainian speakers, and it would be amazing to have the possibility to edit subtitles and text in our native language.
Thank you for considering this!

Hi,

Thanks for the request. I will merge your request with the main post.

I have already seen this topic raised here.

I work a lot on English and Ukrainian-language video content, for YouTube, TikTok or Instagram.

I'm delighted with how well the transcription works in English, it's quick and easy. It's also very easy to make corrections.

But in order to add Ukrainian subtitles and at the same time be able to conveniently make edits on the video, I have to upload the video to third-party sites, download the subtitle file from there

And edit all the text manually (since the site doesn't actually support such machinations)

So when are you guys going to add Ukrainian language?))

I want to know if there are plans to add Ukrainian language for subtitles in Premiere Pro?
I am a user of DaVinci Resolve, currently studying Premiere and was disappointed that I could not do such a simple thing as subtitles because until now, as long as this program exists, there is still no way to do it easily and quickly. However, in DaVinci it is available. I bought Creative Cloud with the hope that it would be "all inclusive" and now I would not have any problems and everything would be simple. And what was my disappointment ...

[Warren Heaton]

Hi @Vadym B. 

It sounds like you want to put in a feature request for Ukrainian to be added to the list of languages supported by Speech-to-Text in Premiere Pro.  That would allow for transcribing clips with Ukrainain as the spoken language to be turned into subtitles.

If the language is supported, transcription and caption generation is as fast as your computer can process it.

Here's the current list of supported languages for reference:

https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere/desktop/add-text-images/insert-captions/languages-supported-by-spee...

Sorry that Ukrainian isn't already on this list.

If you generate an SRT file in Ukrainian outside of Premiere Pro, that can be imported and placed in a Captions Track.
