NOTE: If English isn’t your native language, you have MANY other languages to choose from! (This screen shot is only a partial list…) The Simon Says website says they support 90 languages. Dragging in Events is the easiest way to use the interface, but you’d only want clips with audio you need transcribed stored in that Event. Since you are paying per source media minute, it is a good idea to think carefully about how to organize the clips you want to transcribe in FCP X before beginning the transcription process. Once the project is created, drag either clips, events or projects into the Drag and Drop box. For this example, I dragged in a project, containing a rough cut of dialog from a dramatic scene. Log-in with the credentials you created when you installed the app from the Mac App Store. (This extension icon only appears after you’ve installed at least one extension.) The program is easily installed from the Mac App Store. After installation, you need to create an account, then confirm your email address via email.Īfter installing the extension, access it from within FCP X using the Extension menu in the top left corner of the FCP X interface. The initial installation provides 15 minutes of free transcription as a trial. Price: The Extension is free, transcriptions range from 12.5 – 25¢ (US) per minute This extension is a solid effort by Simon Says, limited by Final Cut Pro X. The problem is that FCP X doesn’t display transcript text in a way that makes it easy to read or edit. The good news is that this allows easy access to most of the power of Simon Says. You’ll quickly receive the results you can drag back into your workflow.” (Simon Says website) “The Simon Says Extension integrates into FCP X and allows you to import FCP events with clips or projects for transcription. However, late last year, Simon Says released a free workflow extension that tightly integrates automatic transcription within FCP X. That remains the best place to go to transcribe, edit and export files with the greatest flexibility. Simon Says started as a website to automatically transcribe media files. In fact, Apple announced at a recent LACPUG meeting that the latest version of Simon Says can automatically translate into 50 languages, which speeds distributing your projects around the world. Shamir Allibhai, CEO of Simon Says, reminded me they recently released a workflow extension for Apple Final Cut Pro X that provides automatic speech-to-text transcription. ![]()
