Thanks.Update September 2020: YouTube has discontinued their community subtitle contribution tools. My videos are all like an hour long, so doing it manually is too much of a pain.Īny suggestions? I've Googled this plenty and found no good solutions. I'm willing to pay if it's like a software, and I can re-use it forever, upload my video or audio file into it, and spit out auto-generated text, but I don't want to pay piecemeal, to some online service. I want something that will just auto-generate them for me.
I want something free, I'm not paying $1 a minute. So how can I easily now, after the fact, get subtitles generated for my videos that don't have it. Why can't YouTube have a button for it to try and auto generate it! And I have to explain "I always have auto-captions turned on for my videos, just sometimes YouTube messes up and doesn't do it". I've had some viewers complain to me "can you turn on auto-captions for this video?" One of my viewers emailed me and was deaf and I really felt bad about it. There is no way for me to tell YouTube "no you've made a mistake, there is in fact spoken audio in this video I need you to auto-caption it". But sometimes it doesn't, I don't know why. 85% of the time, YouTube autogenerates subtitles for my YouTube videos no problem.
