Why we like it

Transcript Converter earns its spot in the aescripts library by pulling multiple transcription services into a single Premiere Pro panel and pairing them with free-tier access and time-coded Word export. The version 2.5.2 caption improvements, sentence-aware breaks and balanced two-line wrapping, are a practical touch for anyone generating SRTs.

Version 2.5 brings over 600 combined hours of free transcription across the integrated providers, and you can transcribe and translate dialogue into 100+ languages directly within the panel.
