Transcribe to Captions not showing up in FCP

I have the latest version of FCP and running Sequoia 15.3 on iMac i9. I'm trying to access the feature of the new transcribing feature but the option isn't showing up in the 'magic wand' button or under Edit>Captions drop down.

I have a clip with audio that I have selected with no filters or enhancements but still no joy.

iMac 27″, macOS 15.3

Right-click on the clip and select "Transcribe to Captions" . . . that's it.

Just check that your image is set in the Viewer to "Fit". Once I wondered why my captions were not appearing until I realised I had set the Viewer to 100%!!!!

If it's still not working, Delete the Settings.
