Google opens auto-captions up to other video providers
The feature, which uses Google Voice technology to automatically process and generate closed captions, was originally designed for YouTube clips. Due to its successful implementation, Google now allows video providers and general users to apply for machine transcriptions on their own videos. A video requested for transcription is put in a queue on YouTube where the captions are generated. The completed video has the benefit of also being able to translate the captions on-the-fly into other languages.
