Automatic Captions in YouTube Demo

[@Zakawer2]

It's 2017 and auto-generated captions are now very accurate!

[@nholmes86]

its 2019..Super accurate

[@tarmeansretarded]

@@nholmes86 2021.... very accurate

[@Magicjax]

As a deaf person myself I think this is awesome that they are even working on this. You're right that it does and will make a lot of mistakes. But the same it true for most closed captioning. It happens all the time on TV too. but this Auto captioning is a huge step forward for us. It's common for captions to be off and we just have to figure what its suppose to say. But I'm sure it'll improve in time and I'm glad it's in the making.

[@LoneSoul0742]

The only video where automatic captions actually work properly.

[@thehill88]

Really awesome. It's so easy I'm sure almost all video creators will have this up and running.

[@beatboxbattle]

such a cool tol cant wait to try speech to text for my interview series will make everything a lot easier :D thx

[@micasigning]

If everyone used closed captions... Deaf people, people that are hard of hearing, as well as people trying to learn English as a second language could benefit. So glad KZbin has this feature... I must learn to use it.

[@WallesWillerWalla]

Nothing wrong with your computer, the transcribe function isn't perfect. But it still gives someone an IDEA of what is being said. That's the whole point! I'm Swedish, but when i listen to Germans speak, i get an IDEA of what they are saying, because I can recognize some words. I don't get the full picture, but enough to understand what the conversation is about. And THAT is the idea here.

[@Spanky2k]

Wow, that really is amazing. I look forward to when the audio transcription works for other languages - then the translation feature could come in really handy for me.

[@vikingscool]

Kudos to Google and KZbin for providing beta audio transcribed captions for the video. I hopefully that will be huge step for our work with my stepmother to add sound effects, music, speaker identifications, music, lyrics, and italtic when volume or something would be sensitive volume. It is great for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. If that success, I will take to work together with my family to captioning it for my own private video! :)

[@JillesvanGurp]

Just watched this with Dutch translation. Quite impressive for machine translation. A few grammar errors here and there but no major mistakes.

[@captionworld]

Very impressive. I knew this technology would turn up someday. Though for video without spoken audio and video photo slide shows there is still room for us Captioners.

[@heliopnl]

Parabens e obrigado por nos proporcionar mais essa ferramenta. Agora podemos entender todos os videos independente do pais ou lingua em que foi produzido. Continuem a buscar a universialização do conhecimento! Obrigado!

[@peteraarslev]

Great Feature.! its really great for people speaking different languages.

[@kojifresh]

Take note children, a version of KZbin before the annoying ads and required Google+ accounts.

[@JackTheBeast88]

that is great. the caption has been translated in italian perfectly!

[@EastTexasCaptioning]

We sell closed captioning software that will enable people to do their own closed captioning. It works for KZbin videos and it also works for DVDs. We have used it extensively for several TV shows that we do.

[@DarthyAtlantican]

slovenian subtitles are great, few words mistaken, but im impresed. cant wait to use this on other video.

[@KatiePuckrikSmells]

What a great feature! Is it possible to make non-standard English characters like é appear properly in the CC When you add captioning, it would be great if it automatically tagged the video with the: yt:cc=on And some sort of marker in the My Video pane that show which vids I have supplied caption with would be helpful. Thanks. --- Katie

[@sholmes_ttyy]

it is 2018 and works pretty good

[@123Calvario]

Google deserves the success it has.

[@gurriato]

It's 2014 now and I have yet to see this thing working once.

[@HairyPotter2006]

sacrisesma I have tested now with a little video. The phrase "the third tool is the sponge" was translated like "patricia santana the exponent bubbling". Thanks google, you should be ashamed of this crap.

[@peter_castle]

2016: It works now!

[@arulmalhotra8587]

in 2017 it works so good

[@treeoneseven]

That's fantastic, nicely done!

[@superstardrogba]

thankyou youtube ....i'm very happy with this automatic translate...work out i can watch thai video

[@tiferet777]

Those captions are not only inaccurate as can be, but they can be hilarious!!! They cannot help the deaf to understand anything being stated in the videos that they are viewing. But they will, no doubt, chuckle about some of the stuff they are reading! In conclusion, the deaf will be confused, bewildered, and perhaps comically amused.

[@GayChristianFellowship]

How do you make the subtitles appear automatically when viewers click on the video?

[@REVOLSAMI]

Gay Christian looking forward to this answer

[@skizzlenator]

Congrats Ken and team!

[@Dennisvomm]

Google has translated Dutch very well, but terms like automatic-timing are translated literally.

[@AndroidNub]

If my video says CC next to it in video manager does that mean captions automatically on when ppl go to my video?

[@SirRobertDole2]

bad captions aren't always better than no captions. sometimes it translates words like "shaving" into "start shooting."

[@КонстантинДанильчатенко]

I started using GGLOT for my KZbin captions. It provides translation into 60 languages as well; thus, increasing my video views by 10-15%

[@rwz]

It's a little buggy if you try the "translate to" and a translated line sometimes happens to exceed the video width.

[@Aden12354]

I love how if you enable these automatic captions on this video, it fails

[@xtronics]

There is no way to search the text (should put markers on the scrub gadget). There is also no way to download the text to manually search it.

[@MikkoTorniainen]

What ever can be done, Google does. Brilliant!

[@PARTYzaNOVAC]

Nice, can be useful for lyrics as well.

[@GordonCam]

sorry , I'm not familiar with american moral tips. And no, I'm not expecting fame, but a video posted with subtitles that I made on my computer with 10 times more hard work feels much better than an automatic "voice-to-text translation". But then I guess that because I'm not happy, doesn't mean that thousands of youtubers won't be excited with it. KZbin ROCKS

[@neyson220293]

how do I know if the youtuber added the caption or if it was completely generated by google algorithms??

[@gamerkhang0]

what if the host of the vid is lazy? is there an html ending we can add, like the &fmt=18 for HD?

Man, this is awesome!

[@grmpf]

"automatic captions are currently available on sunday at uky shin channels" - 3 1/2 years of development later. :D

[@eziosavva]

many words are not true as automatic captions - too many mistakes ... can google or youtube sort this out?

[@bjkouba]

I tried to download this video and show it to a group of deaf people, but the captioning didn't come with the video. Is there any way to do this?

[@MustacheVideo]

Yeah KZbin is quite amusing when it comes to captions me being deaf I just go on KZbin time to time to see if KZbin could actually pull off something like this that actually works.

[@TylerBrownDesign]

It's funny how he is speaking slowly and fully pronouncing words, so that the captions are correct. Haha

[@galaktiker4]

great feature!

[@adsla007]

KZbin translated the name "KZbin" into norwegian "ungdom" That is "youth" in english :D Lol!! But it actually work!! :D Thanx!!

[@cowswirl]

If I'm not the owner of the video, is it still possible to download the captions in some file?

[@casioisboss8309]

Yeah.. this only works if you have a voice like a robot...

[@frostseasons]

"included in every device will be a salmon" lol

[@Roopa132]

Google always amazes me.

[@markuskiner]

cool...the translator works fine^^ i like this update...now i can watch spanish movies:D

[@flavorfives]

I believe this will cause a lot of Karaoke machines to be sold on eBay. KZbin for everyone! yay!

[@hknuddv]

This could let KZbin provide in-picture links as a video plays to videos relevant to the video's subject. you could do a search based only on speech within a video! Give it ten years or so for the auto-captioning and translation algorithms to be perfected and google have got the worlds only truly universal entertainment medium. youtube might not make a direct profit, but what google will make leasing use of this technology in ten years time will make up for it! Google, you are awesome.

[@adkim95]

the captions is just fine.. you just have to speak very clearly so it understands your words :P

[@Ecnarb]

THANKS!!!!!!! GREAT FEATURE!

[@DavidsLit]

"%uh included in every device will be a salmon that gives your unlimited treaty got a"

[@irfanchaudhri]

Wow Google, this feature is going to be awesome! I love it. Thanks google. or youtube? lol

[@vatajo]

2.25 is it viacom slash accesibility 2.15 you can all sit down, load your time for the caption file to modify or you somewhere else transcribed captions are funny :D

[@shyo0o5ia]

Great job .. !

[@TheMacManiaCom]

thanks for the information

[@natelair]

Only one other downside you have to fix: "Machine Transcription (Failed)" You can at least add a retry button, but having failed show up with no other way to retry is just annoying! >: (

[@Ryundal]

How do you put automatic captions on a youtube video now?!

[@AziRidhoJuhermawan]

when the program will pop up? I watch youtube videos no CC

[@tomydb]

amazing!, but Google is not recognizing yourself!. When you say Google, transcribe "goal" =)

[@ramchanderdasarathi5242]

good video

[@depture]

Lol this videos CC option is disabled "i wonder why"...

[@KeyToThePlanet]

why doesn't this video have captions?

[@ManlyPuffs]

how ironic, all of these captures work

[@RootedHat]

that guy, he sounds like Cleveland in Family Guy !

[@NicolaFerruzzi]

Go google! we want automatic comments translation too !

[@joe2501echo]

Since then, they worked out the kinks and it's an excellent program. Just kidding, It's a very derpy program that gets things hilariously wrong most of the time.

[@RRRicard0]

Great feature for me to learn spanish =)

[@BriooniVids]

WHOS WATCHING IN 2016

[@donkeyjote0104]

Caption, hmm, to me is still "no it pac(k)" languages. Arabic to read from right to left, Chinese many times from up to down. But caption in here is like up-side-down, haha!

[@lleo11]

in the videos the captions dont pick up the right words just random shit.

[@prodigel]

Now I realise it was a flash player problem. My bad.

[@MrAlexeiGil]

this doesn't tell me how to put machine-generated captions on my videos HELP I WANT TO PUT MACHINE-GENERATED CAPTIONS ON MY VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@superstardrogba]

please youtube make it faster....i really anxious... 1 more thing...can we download the video with the subtitle in video...thanks google n youtube

[@skunkwithagun]

watch with captions!!!LAWL!!!

[@s9729126c]

lol i tried the transcribe and at 0:58 instead of saying auto captions "aren't great" it said "are great"

[@benmmnn]

Funny how in another youtubers they have more subs than google

[@hasho0o0m94]

awesome just awesome!

[@HaxxBlaster]

Good point.

[@encryptededdy]

1:25 Look in top-right cornor, 42791 Unread Messeges :D

[@BoogsterSU2]

Coming up next in new Captions: Google Wave tech!! :D

[@4x4ezequi]

funciona , muy bien 10

[@YosHurtado]

Somebody tell me how to make one link (url) with subtitles "on" for facebook? if i have 2 subtitles in differents languages as choosing between the two?

[@datsik]

How about just worrying about being able to serve your content at streaming speeds? Captions don't matter when it take 15 minutes to 'stream' a 3 minute video.

[@hknuddv]

this is the kind of genius technology that makes google great. Check out google's "image swirl" on google labs, for more technological innovation!

[@jacheto]

nice!!

[@speti91]

wow thats amaizing!

[@Propolandante]

Yes! Oh, that's awesome

[@kyarocksauttpathdtcatspl720]

Hahaha. Just kidding! My subtitle colors are blue! Look at my screen when my subtitles are colored!

[@kyarocksauttpathdtcatspl720]

I use this for my videos, lol :-P

[@srushti-r4z]

haha....this video does have a good french translation...it'll help me learn the language...this rox!!/....go youtube!go google!!

[@marcelostui]

Good afternoon, youtube! I want to explain to you ... How does video features for Stock legend: Transcribe audio, subtitles translate, other configurations and Section Subtitle: English, Portuguese? Marcelo could not put the actions of legend. Why transcription by machine (failed)? Thank you (a); marcelostui (hearing impaired and could talk) Help me? Made in Brazil

[@kuroodo_]

Yeah, i turn on captions, the randomest shit appears. I watched a documentary on science and the first word that apears is "gay"

[@ssultan200]

رائع وخطوة ممتازة

[@Miaow823]

awesome!

[@CHeRNoRMX]

Google changes the world.

[@supermariomistickgames4700]

I see that this video has subtitle enabled by default. How do I do the same thing with my video? Thanks in advance! 👍.
