Key Features in Premiere Pro 2022
Adobe Speech to Text for Premiere Pro 2022 is an AI-powered tool that automates the transcription and captioning process, replacing the tedious manual work of typing out subtitles. This feature, powered by Adobe Sensei, can reduce the time needed to create captions for a 5-minute video by roughly 75%, saving editors nearly an hour of work.

Editors can quickly find specific terms in the transcript and update them across the entire sequence. How to Use Speech to Text (Step-by-Step)
The "Playhead Sync":
As you click on a word in the transcript, the playhead in your timeline moves to that exact moment, making it an incredible tool for finding "sound bites." 3. Creating Captions
- You need real-time text highlighting for script editors.
- You want to edit by deleting text.
- You work with multi-language translations (2024 added better translation tools).
4. Burn-in Captions without Rendering
- One-Click Transcription: Select a sequence or a clip on your timeline, go to
Window > Text, and click "Transcribe." The software analyzes the audio, identifying speakers and words with surprising accuracy, even with background music or room tone. - Speaker Labeling: It automatically tags different voices as "Speaker 1," "Speaker 2," etc. You can rename these to actual names or roles (e.g., "Host" or "Client") directly in the panel.
- Interactive Editing: This was the killer feature. In the Text panel, you can search for any word. Clicking that word instantly jumps your playhead to that exact moment in the timeline. Need to remove an awkward pause or a mistake? Simply delete the corresponding text, and Premiere performs a Ripple Delete on the video clip itself.
