Howard,

Man, I had to look for a while because they don't make finding the toggle
very easy. Perhaps this isn't the one you're looking for but when logged
on to your youtube account go to:

www.youtube.com/account_playback

then click the "playback" choice under Account Settings menu

and then on that page are some checkboxes for Captions. Perhaps that will
trigger it to do the automatic captioning.
