Does this workflow make sense with Speech Search?
I’m editing a documentary in Final Cut Pro with tons of interview footage from many different subjects.
The director seems to want to be able to say “Hey, see if anyone says ______” and have me be able to find that clip. Since they can’t afford to transcribe everything, my next option was to use Speech Search.
My idea for a workflow would be to take the footage and bring it into Premiere, then do the speech search function. I would still cut the movie in final cut pro, but when the director asked for a bite, I would then fire up premiere pro and search for that text.
So, say I wanted to look up the word “Happy”. Can I open up premiere, search for “Happy”, and then see all the instances across all clips where the word “happy” comes up? I don’t want to have to search each of the 1,000s of clips individually for the same word. Also, is it possible to export the transcription to a text document?
Just trying to see if it’s worth it for me to buy premiere for this application.

My recent experience with Adobe’s Speech to Text modality was very frustrating. You can indeed do most of the things that you listed, but the accuracy of this promising app is terrible. Even when using a crystal clear, properly enunciated audio file and whether in Adobe Premier or Adobe Soundbooth, the results are very disappointing. Good luck!

I’m happy with 50% accuracy or higher. What I’m really looking for are tag words… like “quit” or “happy”. If it can get those 50 percent of the time, then it’s worth it.
“You can indeed do most of the things that you listed”
I’m curious as to what of those things I can and can’t do. Can you specify? This will help me know if I should get it.

Here is a link to the Adobe Training Site for a short video tutorial on this subject.
