Looking for recommendations - Best Speech (mp3, mp4 .wav) to Text (.SRT, .VTT, .SBV, or .SUB) Tool that works with Storyline 360.

Hi Christina,

I was just searching for answers as well. If you're still about, let me share my experiences of things you could try. There are quite a lot:

• Premiere Pro CC 2022 has a fantastic Speech to Text tool. It will generate a transcript and captions with extremely good accuracy plus the ability to easily edit it. Simply create a new sequence, import audio onto your timeline away transcribe. It uses Adobe Cloud so it uploads to their servers but does it very quickly
• Techsmith has a new tool called "Audiate". It's very quick to get a transcription, not as accurate as Adobe but very easy to edit. It also doubles as a Digital Audio Workstation (not as good as something like Adobe Audition)
• I tried Amazon Web Services, it has a fantastic speech to text tool which will output to transcription file and SRT captions.
• Probably the most powerful and most accurate is Google Cloud Speech to text. It's a bit tricky to set up and to export to SRT but worth checking out.
• A great free alternative is to convert your audio file into a video, upload to YouTube and wait for the auto transcription. That will then let you download the captions. I find that the captions you download from YouTube have weird timings, so I import the captions into Camtasia and reexport and it corrects it.

Hopefully one of these helps you or anyone else out there looking for answers.

Scott.
