Enhancing the accuracy of speech analysis
The accuracy of the speech analysis in Adobe Premiere Pro depends upon the 
quality of the audio, with the best results achieved when shooting on a set or sound 
studio. In most movie productions, the final audio will be re-recorded in a sound 
studio, so the audio captured with the video is for synchronization, not for use 
in the project. For this reason, audio quality is usually only fair, and transcription 
quality may suffer.
In a scripted production, however, you can improve the quality of the speech analy-
sis by importing an Adobe Story script into Adobe Premiere Pro. For the purposes 
of this lesson, you’ll use a script already saved to disk.
1
In the Metadata panel, click the Analyze button again.
2
In the Analyze Content dialog, click the Reference Script drop-down list, 
and choose Add. In the Open dialog that appears, navigate to Lessons > 
Assets, choose Paladin_Script_Hero.astx, and click Open.
3
In the Import Script dialog, select 
the Script Text Matches Recorded 
Dialogue check box, and click OK.
4
In the Analyze Content dialog, 
click OK. This will open Adobe 
Media Encoder again, and the 
program should start transcribing 
immediately. If not, click the Start 
Queue button that appears instead of 
the highlighted Stop Queue button.
When the encoding and transcription 
process is complete, the text tran-
scription will update in the Speech 
Analysis field in the Metadata panel.

Analyzing Content
Searching transcription for keywords
Now that you have the transcription, what can you do with it? One of the most 
useful applications for transcribed text is to search for a keyword in order to find 
a specific frame of video.
