At the Adobe help-page versions pinned here (pages dated Jan 2026 to Jun 2026), Text-Based Editing auto-transcribes spoken dialogue into a timecode-aligned transcript and mirrors cut/copy/paste of transcript text onto the timeline. Adobe lists UI languages on the overview page and a separate 18-language Speech-to-Text list; the two lists differ, and no inspected page says whether transcription runs on-device or in the cloud. Stated limits are short: dialogue only, no captions workflow inside the feature, clean audio recommended. Curator qualifications: Excerpted evidence located (one excerpt-less row); Premiere Text-Based Editing inputs/outputs/languages. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
