When Youtube captioning goes horribly wrong
youtube ^ | 12/18/14 | Norm Lenhart

Posted on 12/18/2014 4:36:26 AM PST by Norm Lenhart

Sometimes Youtube comes up with very "All your base belong to us" quips via their captioning function. Being a hobbyist musician I often watch videos on new equipment. This one made me wake the dog up laughing.

He is SUPPOSED TO be saying "Now I'm gonna show you a cool feature".

Didn't quite work out that way though...

At what point in this 12 minute video does the hilarity ensue? I’m dozing on this sequencer tutorial.

"Obama Sharia?"

Youtube... It knows.

Open Secret.

In the mean time, Merry Christmas!

It’s just one caption, and the provided link takes you right to it. (8:07)

reminds me of “back masking” on Led Zeplin albums. No there there. Play it backwards.

It’s best used s a source of entertainment. Any random video will spit out some exceedingly bizzarre/funny stuff.

Who knew the old wise man on the hill was actually a computer program?

Methinks the Youtube CC program is actually named ‘President Eden”...

I had to fast-forward to 8:07 and still didn’t see anything.

Looks like computer generated voice recognition software at work here. ESPN frequently has howlers like these in its live captioning.

You have to turn on captioning. It helps to load the link and click stop a couple of seconds after it cues to 8m7s (the captions are hard to see, due to poor color choices).
