I've never listened to a podcast but does this work on YouTube and Ted talks?
- CharlesW 8y agoTED talks and YouTube videos already have closed captions/subtitles.
- bmelton 8y agoYouTube captioning tends to range from bad to horrible. TED talks are probably hand-transcribed, as I remember them as being higher quality.
- craigcannon 8y agoYeah, they most likely pay for professional transcripts. As do orgs like NPR and bigger companies using podcasts for content marketing.
- CharlesW 8y ago> YouTube captioning tends to range from bad to horrible. Yes, and I mentioned YouTube specifically because it's representative of the best machine transcription (which this service is) can offer. TED talks are indeed transcribed by professionals, and so the quality is a magnitude better than what this service can provide. TEDx talks are transcribed by volunteers, so their quality is more variable.[1] [1] https://www.ted.com/participate/translate/transcribe https://www.ted.com/participate/translate/transcribe
- superflyguy 8y agoI don't want that.
