• YouTube videos to have automatic subtitles
    82 replies, posted
Google have announced that YouTube videos will use automatic speech recognition to create subtitles on the videos. Software engineer for Google, Ken Harrenstien, is deaf and said YouTube is still vastly unavailable to those with hearing difficulties. The software is still not perfect however as it sees the words 'sim card' as 'salmon' for example. The idea will be first tested in English on 13 different channels.

Too bad it won't mean shit when the video you're trying to watch "can't be displayed in your region".

They do all this shit and we still have a 10 minute length cap :psypop:
20% of those are going to be poor transliterations of Youtube poop. How will the software developers feel when their careful coding renders "It's MAMA LUIGI-IGI-IGI-I-I-I-I-I *boop* OVER NINE MAMA"
i can't wait to see what it makes of youtube poops
Is there an option to disable it at least?
This is going to be hilarious.

I can see this being heavily exploited Heheheheheh Think of the possibilities
Oh god I can't wait.
The possibilities are endless
I wonder what it will do to L4D2 videos. "Ham Burger Burger Leave Mush Larger Rawer"
If you put all the subtitles for Ear Rape videos together and chant them you will summon Satan :ohdear:

Youtube is about to become a giant bootleg DVD from Chinatown. :P

These comments are absolutely funny.
What the fuck. google is constantly fucking things up... i don't want/need subtitles in my youtube videos...
For foreign languages too please.
Yay more fucking shit to slow down the website. I seriously can't watch videos in HQ/HD anymore - the streaming load times for ALL videos are now astronomical, and I don't remember it being like this a month or two ago. And my connection isn't all that slow either, hell I can download at a rate of 1.5mb/s if the server is good/close. Hell sometimes it actually takes longer to buffer than the length of the video is. I haven't seen that in a streaming video website since the dial up days.
