 Did you know that automated captions from YouTube are not enough to make your videos accessible? The problem is that current AI based tools aren't smart enough to understand the nuances of human speech, which can drastically change meaning.
You should be highly skeptical of any product or service that claims to create captions with little to no effort. High-quality captions will take at least 2-3 times the length of the video and possibly much more.
Before posting your videos publicly, we highly recommend having a real person reviewer clean up automatically generated captions. If you regularly post lots of videos, it might even be worth checking out some premium tools or services that can help.
For more information, check out the W3C’s Captions and Subtitles page on the Web Accessibility Initiative website.
