I just like to reference this video about why you may consider subtitles and captions:

For YouTube videos, it is a good idea to have separate SRT-files or similar text separate to the graphical video itself, because then the text can be translated to all native languages for the viewer of a YouTube video.
In the past couple of days I have read a bit about automatic generation of subtitles from voice and have tried to make subtitles to a couple of my youtube videos. I have also searched here for information. I have seen that Elusian made a tool with a link to here:

I have not tried it yet.
As far as I can see, it helps to edit subtitles in the Shutcut framework.
And the Vrew should be downloaded free software to make subtitles:

I have not tried this program, because I am a bit concerned about security. It seems to be developed in South Korea and perhaps it just used the Google machine for transcription. In the conditions you shall accept that the system sends audio to Google.
I have tried to make subscriptions to a few of my videos on my YouTube channel. YouTube do have a manual editor itself, at it do also make transcriptions for you on the basis of the voice. However for my 41 public videos YouTube only did that for one of them. And I guess it is because there is some technical terms, that it not easy to recognize, and I got a foreign accent. So I guess YouTube already considered the transcription result to be bad.
I have then tried to make Google docs make transcription via microphone input. I think the result was quite bad, and it would be better to do the job manually. Then I have tried the free version of otter.ei. It do it better that google, but you still got a lot of corrections to do.
There is a lot of other transcription software and services when you search on internet. So it would be nice to know if some others got experience with them.
What kind of experience you have got with auto-generated transcriptions and captions?
