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,

on the Adobe website.
