John Grogan Dec 23, 2012 4:04 PM (in response to JSS1138)Hi Jim,
Not sure I know enough about audio to answer your question. The file is mp4, with what looks like a single audio track. What else should I be looking for?
Thanks,
John.

Sorry for the late reply. I have no idea of the camera type. In short, I have a few videos that were compiled and edited by someone else, where I need to transcribe the speech. The audio quality is very good.

Curious as to how successful the transcription project and process are coming along? How much actually footage are you transcribing and what is your overall experience with the analyzer?
Thx,
Greg

John Grogan Jan 16, 2013 2:34 PM (in response to goyoloco)Hi Greg,
The quality of the transcription is quite poor and I'm having to spend quite a bit of time manually going over it. When this landed on my desk, I opted to try Premiere Pro (trial only) and get a translation service - the translation service was perfect and is it's probably worth doing this in future.
I certainly wouldn't pay for the quality of the Premiere Pro transcription.
John.

goyoloco Jan 16, 2013 9:08 PM (in response to John Grogan)Thanks for the feedback. What about after you have the translation / transcription service done, can you then import it using their storytelling / script software and use that to line up the transcripts with the character dialogue, perhaps? That in an of itself would be quite useful, no?

John Grogan Jan 16, 2013 11:22 PM (in response to goyoloco)Hi Greg,
If I did that, how could I use it? Sorry if this appears naive, but I'm not familiar with Premiere.
Would this allow me to identify where in the video certain lines are spoken? To give you some background, this is being used for a website, where the video transcript is fed into our search engine to make video and audio searchable. However, if we had a 30 min video and the text showed up in search results, there is no way to find exactly where in the video it is.
Thanks,
John.

Allynn Wilkinson Jan 17, 2013 3:48 AM (in response to John Grogan)John, Greg is right. If you start with a script or transcription and add it to Premiere before you perform the speech to text it will look for the words in the text and match them up. It creates markers for every single word and you jump to the exact frame where the word is spoken. Very cool!
One big "gottcha" however... there is no way to tell Premiere to "honor" the text. In other words, it will change your text to what it thinks it hears. It doesn't do this very often and you can always change it back but if there's a lot of background noise or the speaker is difficult to understand and will change the text.
I'm going to be using the feature to analyze some political ads. Of course, typing 30 seconds of transcript is a lot easier than typing 30 minutes ;-)
