FAQ: Why is the Premiere Pro Speech to Text Transcribe button grayed out or disabled?

Q: Why is the Premiere Pro Speech to Text Transcribe button grayed out or disabled?

A: Check the status of your Creative Cloud subscription to make sure it is active.

• Check your account to verify your subscription. Visit https://account.adobe.com/ to make sure your Creative Cloud subscription is not expired or showing warnings.

Is your subscription active and having the same issue?

• Bad auth token warning: Log out and then log back in from the Creative Cloud Desktop App.
• Network: Check your network's firewall settings to make sure no ports are blocked. More info here.

Are you having trouble finding your account settings at https://account.adobe.com/? 

• Are you a student, or working in a large company? You might not be a standard Creative Cloud user and need access to the status of your subscription or licensing. 
  • You may need to contact your IT Administrator for your institution in order to install the correct version of Premiere Pro and to make sure that your particular student subscription or enterprise licensing is active.
