clarity of the spoken words and the quality of the recorded dialog.

Dialog recorded in a noisy environment or with poor microphone placement

cannot produce highly accurate results even with a reference script.

You can nevertheless use a reference script to improve speech analysis.

A reference script is a text document containing dialog similar

to the dialog recorded in your assets.</p>

<div class="para">There are two types of reference scripts:<ul><li><p>A script

that contains similar dialog, but was not necessarily written for

the current project. For example, a series of medical training scripts

for different products can be combined into a single text document.

You can use this text document as a reference script. With this

type of reference script, speech analysis produces results more

accurate than it does when using only the default language models.</p>

</li>

<li><p>A script that matches the recorded dialog. This type of reference

script provides the highest accuracy possible. For example, you

can use the script that the talent read during the shoot as a reference

script. Alternatively, you could use a transcript typed from the

assets for the purposes of close captioning.</p>

</li>

</ul>

</div>

<p>Speech Analysis supports reference scripts only in the UTF-8

encoded text format, including Adobe Story scripts, which have the

.astx filename extension.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>To make reference scripts available in Soundbooth, first complete

the steps below in Adobe Premiere Pro.</div>

<ol><li><p>From the Reference Script menu in the Analyze Content

dialog box, choose Add.</p>

</li>

<li><p>In the File Open dialog box, browse to the reference script

text or .astx file, select it and click OK.</p>

</li>

<li><p>In the Import Script dialog box, type a name for the reference

script, and select the language of the script. </p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>You can

view the text of the file in a scrolling window.</div>

</li>

<li><p>Select Script Text Matches Content only if the imported script

covers the recorded dialog verbatim. For example, if the reference

script is the script from which the talent read their lines, select

Script Text Matches Content. Select this option even if the recorded

dialog is shorter than what the script file covers.</p>

</li>

<li><p>Click OK.</p>

<p>The Import Script dialog closes, and the

reference script is selected in the Analyze Content Reference Script

menu.</p>

</li>

<li><p>Click OK.</p>

</li>

</ol>

</div></div>

<div id="WS725e431141e7ba651e63e3d1254872f9fd-7ffb" class="nochunk"><a name="WS725e431141e7ba651e63e3d1254872f9fd-7ffb"><!-- --></a><h2 class="topictitle2">Improve speech analysis with Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere Pro</h2><div><p>You can use Adobe Story, OnLocation, and Adobe Premiere

Pro to create the most accurate speech analysis. Import a script

written in Adobe Story into OnLocation. OnLocation produces a list

of shot placeholders for each scene. Either record these shots using

OnLocation during production, or link the placeholder shots to their

respective video files when you import the video files into OnLocation.

In either case, OnLocation embeds the text for each shot from the original

script into the metadata of the shot.</p>

<p>When you import the clips into &#160;Adobe Premiere&#160;Pro,

it automatically uses the Adobe&#160;Story script as a reference

script. When Adobe&#160;Premiere&#160;Pro finds enough matches

with the embedded script, Adobe&#160;Premiere&#160;Pro replaces

the analyzed speech text with the embedded script text. Adobe Premiere&#160;Pro

carries over correct spelling, proper names, and punctuation from

the reference script, benefits that standard speech analysis cannot

provide. </p>

<p>The closeness of the match between the embedded script text and

the recorded dialog determines the accuracy of matched-script text.

If 100% accuracy is important, edit and revise the script text first.

Ensure that the script matches the recorded dialog before using

it as a reference script.</p>
