USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 196 Editing sequences and clips The spoken words appear in the Speech Analysis section. 5 To retain the speech metadata, save the project. If you import files with a speech metadata intoAfter Effects, each word appears as a layer marker on layers based on these footage items. Navigate to a specific word in speech metadata 1 In the Speech Analysis section, select the word. Timecode In and Duration indicate the precise location and length of your selection. 2 To hear the selection, click either Play or Loop Playback. (The latter option repeatedly plays the selected word, with some preroll and postroll.) Edit speech metadata ❖ In the Speech Analysis section, do any of the following: • To correct a word, click it, and type. • To insert, delete, merge, cut, or copy words, right-click an existing word, and choose a command from the context menu. Copy text from speech metadata to the clipboard for use in a text editor ❖ Right-click the transcript, and choose Copy All. Improve speech analysis with reference scripts Accuracy of the speech to text conversion depends on the clarity of the spoken words and the quality of the recorded dialog. Dialog recorded in a noisy environment or with poor microphone placement cannot produce highly accurate results even with a reference script. You can nevertheless use a reference script to improve speech analysis. A reference script is a text document containing dialog similar to the dialog recorded in your assets. There are two types of reference scripts: • A script that contains similar dialog, but was not necessarily written for the current project. For example, a series of medical training scripts for different products can be combined into a single text document. You can use this text document as a reference script. With this type of reference script, speech analysis produces results more accurate than it does when using only the default language models. • A script that matches the recorded dialog. This type of reference script provides the highest accuracy possible. For example, you can use the script that the talent read during the shoot as a reference script. Alternatively, you could use a transcript typed from the assets for the purposes of close captioning. Speech Analysis supports reference scripts only in the UTF-8 encoded text format, including Adobe Story scripts, which have the .astx filename extension. The closeness of the match between the embedded script text and the recorded dialog determines the accuracy of matched-script text. If 100% accuracy is important, edit and revise the script text first. Ensure that the script matches the recorded dialog before using it as a reference script. Note: To make reference scripts available in Soundbooth, first complete the steps below in Adobe Premiere Pro. 1 From the Reference Script menu in the Analyze Content dialog box, choose Add. 2 In the displayed dialog box, browse to the reference script text or .astx file, select it, and click OK. 3 In the Import Script dialog box, type a name for the reference script, and select the language of the script.
