NYC Media uses Adobe Premiere Pro's AI-powered speech-to-text tools to help human editors generate closed captions for video content broadcast on New York City's television channels. The AI transcribes spoken words from video programs into caption drafts, which a human editor reviews before broadcast. The system is powered by Adobe Sensei machine learning and third-party speech recognition technologies.
