Analyze speech for text XMP metadata

Adobe Premiere Pro and Soundbooth analyze spoken words and generate text metadata. You can edit and search text metadata like any other
metadata properties. You can then navigate to the times at which specific words are spoken, to better align edits, advertising, and subtitles.

The speech analysis feature can use any of several language-specific and dialect-specific libraries, such as libraries for Spanish and UK English.

To download more language-specific and dialect-specific libraries,

see this link

on the Adobe website.

In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, the Speech Analysis feature is also available for clips when there is at least one component audio clip in the
merged clip. Users can choose to analyze all audio tracks in a merged clip, or a single one.

To analyze speech in all tracks, do one of the following:

Set the File pop up menu to “All Files”, and then click the Analyze button in the Speech Analysis section of the Metadata panel.

Select the merged clip, and then choose Clip > Analyze Content.

Note: You can analyze multiple merged clips, multiple clips, or a combination of both by selecting the clips, and then choose Clip >
Analyze Content.

To analyze a specific track for speech, set the File pop up menu to the component audio clip you wish to analyze, and then click the Analyze
button in the Speech Analysis section of the Metadata panel.

Note: Useful results from speech analysis require good audio quality. Background noise significantly reduces accuracy. To remove such noise,
use the tools and processes in Soundbooth.
