One of the defining characteristics of the v2.x branch (including 2.1.6) is the reliance on local processing. Unlike cloud-based solutions that require uploading media files, Adobe Speech to Text processes audio directly on the user’s workstation.

Version 2.1.6 supports over 13 languages , including English, Russian, German, Korean, and Japanese.

This version continues the evolution of Adobe's AI-driven workflow, focusing on speed and high-precision transcription.
