I think Donal is right; it is in their interest to index videos.  As a professional captioning company we don’t feel too threatened by it to be honest.  I think that anyone that’s used voice recognition software will appreciate, all it’s missing is the human element!

 

Captioning a video is not an expensive project, €100 would easily cover a recorded short clip.  As captions open up the clip to a wider audience, it’s an easily recoupable €100.

 

I too am looking forward to seeing it in operation.  Access to text (comprehensible or not) has to better than nothing
