[Athen] youtube captioning question

[Teresa Haven]

Hi, Howard.  I found this relatively recent statement about automatic captions and when they might not appear:

Thanks Doug. I made that change. So far I don't see any changes in the captioning options but we'll see.

Seems like you also don't have the choice for requesting automatic captioning on other videos. For example, the clip on David Letterman's retirement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5sVI_-LRCI) doesn't have captioning and there's no option - as far as I can see - to add them. So it seems like there's been some type of change in policy/setup regarding auto-captions on YouTube but no announcement or information about it anywhere.

Regards,
Howard

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<http://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.

Does anyone know if youtube autocaptions has changed? I uploaded a short
video to my account but the only option I see is to do manual captions
(with an amara-like tool) or to upload a transcript for syncing. I thought
the captioning might be done automatically but the video has been up for a
couple of days and no captioning has appeared. Any help on this would be
appreciated.
