Closed Captioning!

Google Inc. today is introducing automatic, machine generated captions for the videos on YouTube. This is a forum of a new service from Google. They launched this week for only a few of their top channels on YouTube. A few of those channels are PBS, National Geographic, as well as for a few schools. This new technology is intended to make online videos accessible to the deaf and hearing-impaired. Although there’s video’s already with captions YouTube would like to see this feature on all of them. People that upload video‘s right now are adding captions manually, which could take time for the user. This will hopefully save time for the user, and space for YouTube. And another thing to think about is, with this new speech recognition technology this could give YouTube more of the market share, which would mean for money from advertisers. After all that’s all Google really cares about, right, or I’m wrong?
