\n2. Click Transcript, then select Create Transcription.
\n3. Choose your audio track and language, then click Transcribe.
\n\"How
\nPremiere will analyze your audio and generate a text transcript\u2014usually in just a few minutes, depending on clip length. <\/p>\n

Step 3: Convert the Transcript into Captions
\nOnce your transcription is ready:
\n1. Switch to the Captions tab.
\n2. Click Create Captions from Transcript.
\n3. Hit Create, and Premiere will automatically generate timed captions on a new track.
