| Feature | Adobe Speech to Text (2023) | Rev.com (Paid) | Descript (Paid) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cost | Free (w/ sub) | $1.50/min | $15/month (limited hours) | | Accuracy | 92-95% | 99% (Human) | 95% (AI) | | Speed | Very Fast | Slow (Human) | Fast | | Text-Based Editing| Yes | No | Yes | | Premiere Integration| Native (Best) | Import/Export | Plugin available |

Verdict: Rev is more accurate for legal/medical work, and Descript has better "overdub" features. However, for value and workflow speed, Adobe Speech to Text is the top free choice for Premiere users.

In Adobe Premiere Pro 2023, Speech to Text is a built-in feature that is free to use with your existing subscription. It allows you to automatically transcribe audio into text for captions or text-based editing without needing an internet connection once language packs are installed. Quick Setup Guide Open the Text Panel: Go to the Window menu and select Text. Start Transcription: In the Transcript tab, click Transcribe sequence.

In the Text panel, click the Transcript tab and then select Transcribe sequence.

Time-Saving: Automated transcription can process a 10-minute clip in under 30 seconds.
