FCPX Auto Captions

[Mads Nybo jørgensen]

Hey Eric,

Although extremely unhelpful, Adobe Premiere Pro is no different.

You have to correct the subtitles when the speaker is either not “audible”, or is using specialist words like places, acronyms or just their mother’s maiden name.

That is before we get to place commas and full stops.

<div>Not sure that it will ever improve, but there has got to be someone out there who can connect Google Translate or similar as a plug-in.</div>

Talking of Google, have you tried using transcribe, translate and replace spoken language.
Go to the gear icon on this video and select a new audio track. I’ve tried both German and Japanese, don’t know if it’s accurate, but it is only the beginning of what is coming…

Keep in mind that Apple AirPods are being developed towards real-time conversation translation.

But my short answer to your question; the world still needs humans to check through the subtitles, and to correct them if and when needed.

I use Simon Says Transcription, works great, but not totally free, but pretty gosh darned inexpensive. Nothing around does 100% accurate transcriptions yet.

Hello,

FCPX Auto Captions doesn’t learn or adapt — it uses fixed speech recognition each time, so it can’t remember or correct words like “lotteries.” For consistent results, use a tool with custom vocabulary or AI learning (e.g., Whisper, Descript, or Rev AI).
