How To Enable Autogenerate Captions/Subtitles On YouTube Videos | Transcription
YouTube provides the feature of generating auto captions or transcription of videos. YouTube claims that there is 95% accuracy rate. It auto detects the language and generates the captions.
There are some limitations as well like if the audio quality of video is poor it doesn’t generate captions. Sometimes it fails to detect the real language because of weird accents like there is a Italian man who speaks English in a video, YouTube could generate captions in Italian language. Accuracy is not 100%, so make sure to review the captions twice, thrice.
