The is powerful, but it is not perfect. Before you upgrade your entire workflow, be aware of these current limitations:
Speech to Text’s capabilities are powered by , Adobe’s artificial intelligence and machine learning framework. Sensei has been continually refined over several years, and the 2025 updates introduced Adobe Sensei GenAI , which further integrates generative AI technologies into the creative workflow.
