Open the original- What it measures
- The guide describes what is new in version 20. It labels the transcription improvements as Studio features. It does not say whether the basic transcription feature is in the free edition.
- What it does not show
- The guide labels the improvements, not the basic Audio Transcription feature. The full reference manual labels its Audio Transcription section Studio Version Only, but its PDF is 209 MB, so the verifier cannot read it. A vendor blog post says the free version includes Transcribe Audio. We did not confirm that claim in Resolve itself.
