How Auto-Captions Can Make or Break Your Video Translation Experience

Video translation , the process of converting video audio or text into another language, is commonly facilitated through auto-captions, transcribing speech into on-screen subtitles. This feature is invaluable for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, aiding language learners and broadening a video's audience. However, the prevalence of errors in auto-captions, as evidenced by the University of Texas at Austin's finding of a 60% accuracy rate for YouTube's auto-captions, can lead to confusion and, in some cases, unintended humor or offense. For instance, in a TED talk by Facebook's COO, Sheryl Sandberg, auto-captions transformed her name into "surely salmon."

The Easiest Migration Pathway Ever in Germany - Opportunity Card for Job Seekers without Job Offer in 2023 Image: Sebastian Kahnert/dpa/picture alliance Germany’s new opportunity card, requirements, and points calculator are the easiest ways to move to Germany in 2023. Germany, with 2 million job vacancies, is currently undergoing reforms to its immigration laws. The objective is to provide simplified visa procedures and fresh avenues for skilled foreign workers to fill these vacant positions in the country. In late June 2023, the German Parliament approved and launched the "Germany Opportunity Card for Job Seekers." This new work visa is designed for non-Europeans and enables them to come to Germany without a pre-arranged job offer for a period of one year.
