Am I the only one seeing some kind of horrible speech-to-text subtitles that are really missing the point?


You've turned on captioning in Youtube (the "CC" button at the bottom).


It was on by default for me and I was really confused for a short period of time wondering what the heck they were trying to tell me as part of the video. It was hilarious, however.


I had the same experience. But the subtitles really were something extra, would definitely recommend for a laugh.


Thanks for your tip. The subtitles are usually fairly accurate, but there's something messing with them on this video, could be the music or the narrator.

Usually speech recognition errors are fairly routine, but in this case they are hilarious. Oh, and the word 'Android' was not recognized.


You're automatically transcribing audio into text in Youtube. Disable CC.


Not seeing that, maybe they turned it off.
