If you're american or british, maybe yeah. That leaves aside all the people who do not speak it as a main language, those who use the captions to gather additional context from translators, those who cannot watch the video with sounds for any reason... The list is endless.
Oh and, the automatic subs are absolute trash if whoever is speaking is not doing so with an american accent, in a perfectly clear room.
- iagovar 6y agoIf you speak multiple languages (which isn't uncommon out of the anglosphere) it becomes very annoying to have YT putting subtitles and translating stuff for you. If I want subtitles or translation I should be the one deciding, or at least give an option to opt-out, which isn't doing it every video. And that was for subtitles, because that wasn't possible with titles and descriptions.
- Tainnor 6y agoThe automated video title translation "feature" is really fast turning me off YouTube. It's just confusing as hell to see a German title and then realise the video is actually in English.
- rjsw 6y agoEnglish is my first language and I don't want automatic subtitles or translation for stuff in other languages.
- robin_reala 6y agoTo be honest, YouTube’s captioning struggles with even British accents.
