It seems like captions are something that could so easily be crowd sourced.
How many times does each video on Netflix get watched? More than 1000? If just 1/1000 watchers is willing to transcribe the video, it's done. Hell, even starting bootstrapping the initial transcription with a speech recognition system would probably go a pretty long way.
You just need some clean UI and an easy way to have Wikipedia style edit logs/discussion pages.
- xbryanx 15y agoTranscription isn't the hold up for Netflix. The issue for Netflix is either embedding the transcript directly into the video (open captions) where you can't turn them off, or dynamically displaying a text stream via your device software, as a layer over the video.
