YouTube includes automatic captions

YouTube has incorporated a beta automatic subtitling feature advantageous for users with hearing disabilities and those not easily understand foreign languages. Until now, people have posted videos on YouTube manually subtitled by the posting user. This has changed with the incorporation of  this automatic subtitling function based on Google ‘s text-to-voice technology. To activate the feature (beta version for the time being), users need only press a virtual button called “caption” and then select the “transcribe audio”, so that YouTube automatically generates text based on the video’s audio. The system also features a choice of translation / interpretation in real time. In their  blog, YouTube accepts that the system has certain imperfections, and that voice to text conversion can produce results that sometimes are difficult  to understand.

What a great feature! who has checked it out?
