My favorite youtube channel is a Dutch guy who bought an old Russian tank and is getting it in working condition. He talks Dutch, with an accent, from his loud workshop, and uses all the right vocabulary for the things he is working on. This means, he is using a lot more than the most common 300 or so words.
There is no way automated captions can be anywhere near OK for that.
He currently has a community of volunteers supplying captions and has as a result an audience of Russians and other eastern europeans, who partly used to drive or work on these tanks, watching his channel. This is now made impossible thanks to google.

- jxramos 6y agoI was thinking too about another poor experience from auto captions. They're one long run on sentence. They have no sense of punctuation. Sometimes it makes comprehending what's being communicated pretty scrambled at times because the borders between statements and concepts can be blurred and you have to backtrack at times to follow what was being said and what word belongs to which sentence.
