how to add subtitles in premiere pro
HeyBraza points at the 'transcribe sequence' button in the text panel - the step most people can't find.
premiere can write your subtitles for you from the audio, but the button is tucked inside the text panel and the workflow has two stages - transcribe, then turn the transcript into captions. here's the whole path.
short answer
open window > text, go to the captions tab, click 'transcribe sequence' and then 'create captions' to turn the transcript into caption blocks. style them in essential graphics, and leave the caption track switched on at export to burn them into the video.

downloadcommon questions
where is the auto-caption tool in premiere pro?
it's in the 'text' panel (window → text) under the captions/transcript tab - 'transcribe sequence' starts it.
do exported captions stay on the video?
yes if you 'burn in' the caption track; for a separate .srt file, export captions as a sidecar in export mode.
