Speech to Text in Premiere Pro is an integrated workflow that allows you to automatically generate a transcript of your sequence and create customizable captions for your videos.
For users running Premiere Pro 15.4, 22.0 or 22.1
Effective February 7, 2023, Speech to Text is no longer be supported on Premiere Pro 15.4, 22.0, and 22.1. Upgrade to the current version of Premiere Pro for full Speech to Text functionality.

On-device language packs offer faster transcriptions and can be used without an internet connection. An English language pack is included with your installation of Premiere Pro. Additional language packs for all supported languages can be installed as needed.
