    Youtube transcriptions are suprisingly abysmal considering what technology google already has at hand.

      I find them pretty good for English spoken by native speakers. For anything else it’s horrible.

      I actually disagree.

      I’m consistently impressed whenever I have auto-subtitles turned on on Youtube.

        I’m not impressed by the subtitles themselves (they’re just ok) but rather by how accessible it is. Like it being an option rather than it being a “tool for creators” or limited to premium or something

        Or maybe youtube has added so much dogshit features recently (like ai overviews, automatically adding info cards for anyone mentioned, and highlighting seemingly random words in comments to search it outside of context) that it makes me appreciate these things more lol
