@brucelawson whisper can't just transcribe, it also can put out SRT-Files which you can import in Programms like davinci resolve to add closed captions in the video file (which time stamps and everything)!

Saved my ass some days ago. But even though it's actually quite good, you still need to (and should anyway) check the output for errors.

"Quickly Toggling Closed Captions on Apple TV (But Not in Netflix)"

This is a great tip.

As @gruber suggested, this should be part of the Apple TV standard, required for all apps that support CC.

I love the idea of triple-tap the back of your phone to toggle captions. Should be able to tell Siri to do the same. In ALL services.

Daring FireballQuickly Toggling Closed Captions on Apple TV (But Not in Netflix)Two shortcuts for toggling closed captions in tvOS apps that support accessibility features.

The culture in the #fediverse of always adding meaningful alt text to pictures is really fantastic. Not just because of the ethical commitment to making this an accessible place for everyone but it actually unlocks a lot of richness and creativity and forces us all to be more intentional about what we are posting and why. I find myself really thinking about how to describe images and what they mean. Its a great writing exercises and adds layers of complexity and depth to what we share. Making things better for people with accessibly issues makes things better for everyone in the process.

'Subtitle' is an open-source AI-powered caption generation project that utilizes machine learning algorithms and natural language processing techniques to generate accurate and natural-sounding captions for videos in various languages.

The tool can run on your own server for enhanced control and privacy and utilizes the open-source #Whisper ASR model for high-quality speech recognition.

2/ As he continues to recover from the stroke he endured last year, Fetterman said he now uses a device to provide captions for him to help process information—technology he also brought with him on Late Show.

“I never thought about captioning before I had the stroke,” Fetterman said, “and now I realize I have to be an advocate for anyone with a disability to have the kind of technology that allows them to fully participate in society.”
