Transcript including custom words

[Jakeyosaurus]

Talk about subjects which may have made up words like names for creatures and then attempting to transcribe these words is frustrating as Premire doesn't know the words and will give a horrendous guess at what it thinks it heard. 

Instead allow us to add words to premiere's vocabulary before transcribing so it knows what those words are when it hears them. Transcribing 1 hour of commentary only to then realise premiere had been continiously transcribing any non-dictionary word in to a terrible guess to the point it even transcribed swear words and slurs.

Allow us to input custom words to add to premiere's vocabulary before transcribing so it transcribes made up words for example name of a creature in a video game.

Just boosted this post in the FB Premiere group. Hopefully it starts to get some attention. This is a vital addition for my workflow of searching for mentions of the brand/company the video is about to get good soundbites.

Upvoted. I can say I've been in meetings with devs and suggested that we be able to have a dictionary for a project. We have Indigenous language in many of our projects and it would be great to have transcription work 'outside the box'. The big challenge, of course, is assigning the proper spelling to the phonetic sound of a word.

I came here to post the same thing! Our company name and product names are always wrong in the transcriptions. I too would love to add words to the transcription vocabulary.

Agreed, having custom words would be hugely beneficial.

I suggested the same thing back in 2023. Hope this gets more traction than mine! lol 

[Dzamdragon]

also commenting to help this gain traction. This is the current reason I'm not using Adobe right now. For my work I need a transcription service that I can teach a custom vocab to.

I'd really like this ability, please!

I would also like to use tab to move to the next caption and have it be open and ready for editing, rather than having to double-click every time.

[Onkel J]

Yes! This! Please!

@Jakeyosaurus, and all,

There are several versions of this suggestion. This one has the highest votes as of today, 33, and, I think, is the best one to upvote. But there are multiple use case examples, and some will be more appealing to users than others. (Just look at the names embedded in the links.) The rest, links below, range from 2 to 5 as of today. None of them have a "status" and there are no staff responses.

I am always curious about the programming challenges in feature requests and setting priorities. Whether we think an idea is easy or challenging, it must compete for finite programming resources to become part of the plan.

The revised workflow for PR captions, introduced in 2021, has evolved rapidly, including the introduction of transcription and text-based editing. Currently, in the Beta, is active development of translating captions from one language to another. With this is the ability to keep multiple caption tracks on screen at once, and to style each track separately. Both of these will be popular.

I say all that to encourage your submitting feature requests and to upvote ones that you agree with. I know staff look carefully at all of these, but a lot of patience is required to see an idea become reality.

The main workaround is search and replace. And that can be painful. You can use regex searches to facilitate this. Still cumbersome at best.

Yea this would be helpful for a podcast I help with that has fantasy and fictional terms, names, and locations and also incorporates snippets of Latin and other non-English items.
