While I generally agree, I think adding subtitles are a fairly low bar to pass that help the able & disabled in equal amounts. If you're in public and don't feel like wearing headphones or want to listen to music instead, than even shitty auto-generated captions are a massive improvement in quality
- mminer237 4y agoEven only hiring the cheapest, outsourced, $1/minute captioning, for 20,000 videos at 50 minutes each that's at least a million dollars they'd be paying to give content away for free. I don't think that's a low bar.

There's a whole different level of effort between recording a presentation and posting it and recording it, subtitling it, and posting it.

- tluyben2 4y agoThere are better and worse systems for this; I tried a few for a project and there are some that are better than my hearing, as in, picking up words I missed correctly, even through thick accent. The court won’t be able to see these are auto generated.
