@mawhrin@circumstances.run I'm not sure if video captioning is a case where it's not appropriate or not. I'd very much prefer to have it done by a human, but if I do it myself, it's something like 10 times the length of the video to do the manual captioning. Would it be better to just not caption, or is this a case that to you is justified?

    @JigmeDatse@social.openpsychology.net yes and no; it's better than nothing, but such a transcript has to be proofed by a human to be actually useful. the thread here describes some of the failure modes. (@jzb@hachyderm.io also had a bunch of very good general points in another reply somewhere in this thread, and they summarise my position rather well too).
