wow. little buggy but it in the right road. i can edit the chat to fix problem easy. i just test on 1 of my video. only 75% of the word pick up. i think that do to me having problem talking. i think i will use this more. thank you for a great tool...
I've been hand-typing my captions for the last year on all of my uploads - and I've received countless messages from people more than happy with their availability.
One thing though YouTube - for that that don't want captions... the fact that CC is on by default on all videos... it seems to be annoying my non-deaf audience. Now, *I'm* perfectly aware how to disable them, and permanently... but some/most people on this site aren't very bright.
I thank for advance thousand thanks for this system is very good and well used by all and for sure will do it better and better! I wish them every success in the world
I think auto-captioned videos should require approval by the video owner before they are used. It doesn't work very well, but is great tool for those that are willing to proof read them to correct the Mexico steaks.
Well, Recently,CC shows too late and dissapears too fast for me. Auto caption is better than normal caption in this matter. But still they are both grateful for me to understand what they are talking.
Thanks for helping to ruin the livelihood of captioners, who have (like me) been making a decent living doing closed captions and subtitles in post-production houses. Yeah, yeah, I'm like the buggy whip makers after the automobile. But this was preceded by the migration of this work to India and other places, where $40 a week is a good living.
Just to note: these captions will always suck, because no machine will understand English completely. Non-native English speakers will not be attuned to the culture as much as necessary to get large parts of the dialog. And timing and fine-tuning have to be done by humans at least.
Aside from the usefulness for the deaf, captions make video searchable. Imagine, searching for a line of dialog you remember, but can't remember where you saw it, and you come up with the exact scene where that line was used. And tag film and you could come up with shots from a movie you saw as a kid. Finally, all this video on YouTube could be archived in a quickly retreivable way.
Technological change. Anybody want to buy my $13,000 workstation?
You should add a feature for partners where they can upload audio dubs of their current videos in different languages. Say I produced a video in English but I also have the same exact video spoken in Spanish. It would be useful if I can upload the Spanish mp3 and make the option available to switch the English audio with the Spanish audio on the player.
I am happy to see you are thinking so much about your visitors and their comfort. It's really good to have support to CC and better quality. Keep it up. Pandora console
To James, the professional captioner... please don't dispair! We look forward to you helping us make the icky captions better. How great it is that we have a much, much better starting point -- maybe if you work it the right way, you'll have many more smaller jobs correcting and perfecting captioning now!
There are a couple of things YouTube could do to greatly improve accessibility.
As said earlier they need to provide a facility to allow alternate audio tracks.
Also annotations would be much, much more useful if the content owner had the option of switching them off by default.
This would allow the content owner to fill a video with transcription notes which are vital for accessibility. But because they could be switched off by default the notes would not bombard the majority of users.
Users that needed the transcription notes could turn them on just like they are able to turn on captions.
I think having these 2 would go a long way to making YouTube fully WC3 compliant.
This is one of the very few features YouTube has introduced the last couple of years that can truly be considered an upgrade. Not only is it extremely helpful to the hearing impaired but it's an option, not something YT has forced upon people.
WHY WHY WHY can't you follow this principle all the time? Bulletins, beta and, soon enough, video pages continue the freefall You Tube is on. Even something as simple as auto play, which I will forever argue is a glitch, should NEVER be forced upon people as a default option for anything. Yet, the most recent blog update on the reworked video page wants to force playlists to auto play unless the user shuts it off. This makes no sense.
Although I'm not hearing impaired and closed captioning is of no particular benefit to me, it's a rarity for You Tube...something about which you can be proud to have introduced. Use the principle of bettering the You Tube experience, not worsening it, and try doing the same all the time. Don't force change, don't aggravate viewers, don't keep downgrading. It's a small glimmer of hope that You Tube does have the ability to improve. I wish it would be the rule and not the exception.
Whose idea was it to make the CC thing pop up right over the volume and then slowly fade out? Every time I try to adjust the volume now this thing pops up over it because I accidentally swept my pointer a half a millimeter to the right of the volume control.
It's wonderful that Google/YouTube is providing automated captioning. However, there are now multiple states of captioning for videos, which can be pretty confusing to the viewer because of how Google/YouTube is dealing with the CC button.
1. In the videos that were captioned by hand, the text for the CC button is confusing. Alternate text should describe the visual image for people with visual impairments, and that how most of us have unconsciously been trained to interpret alternate text. Instead, the text for the CC button sometimes says: "turn captions on" or "turn captions off." The text should be changed to say "captions are on" or "captions are off" for the actual status, which would be less confusing.
2. A red CC button no longer means the captioning has been turned on, although it used to. Now it can mean that there is automated transcription available but the captions won't necessarily show unless the viewer turns them on. The color red for a CC button should only be used to indicate that captions are actually supposed to be showing. (This is what other video players are doing, like CNET.com.) A different color, like yellow or blue, could have been used to show that caption choices are available but not yet turned on. The color gray for the CC button is commonly understood to indicate that captions are turned off or not available.
YouTube Increasing its accessibility levels with regard to viewers that are deaf or hard of hearing, Google-owned online video service YouTube has this week opened its previously restricted auto-captioning feature to anyone looking to upload and improve video content on the site. Tablet PC cables
Captioning doesn't appear to be broadly available, but I've already seen some nice examples of it in action. Obviously, the better the audio in the clip, the better the auto-captioning. ~ iphone applications development
Some videos needs to improve with closed captions because they aren't on-topic when I watching a video game walkthrough it doesn't tell me what to do in the video.
great idea, but from what I've seen on videos so far, really poor execution. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know this stuff is nowhere near easy to implement, but when it's that buggy, I laugh; someone who's hearing impaired on the other hand, loses out on the meaning of what's being said, and in some cases might think the captions are accurate when they're not.
so for that reason you might get back to work on your algorithm, because otherwise it's going to do harm, instead of good.
i think its great that YT is nringing closed captioning.ive been adding it to some of my videos (the shorter ones) & am pleased with the outcome.if auto captioning comes out i say EVEN BETTER. some people out there probably dont like CC but im not one of those people.there r people out there that cant hear to well or even completely deaf so i think its wonderful that video owners r given this option to add captions for those who cant hear to well or at all.keep up the great work YOUTUBE on this technology.u have my vote on it.....
youtube I love that you are trying to make new changes and alot of it is for the better but I've notice a few things that have inconvenienced my video watching experience that wasn't a problem before this change.
The option to make the player smaller was quite useful to me at times where I had multiple windows up at once.
I love forming playlists of videos I watch frequently i.e. Angry video game nerd episodes. since the change though, I no longer have the option of making my playlist random, which is upsetting because I usually put on a playlist when I'm lying in bed and I just want my playlist to run randomly on its own. I dont want to manually click my videos out of order.
Also in the comment section you can no longer see how many thumbs ups or down a comment has. A minor issue but I as well as many people I know find enjoyment seeing the amount of thumbs ups and downs certian comments have. It is a very underappreciated tool. It makes you feel important when you recieve these thumbs ups and down, makes you feel socially accepted or an individualist when you rate another person's comment, and it adds a level of emotion to it, getting the watchers to debate and express opinion. Yes sometimes this can get out of hand but that is why uploaders can remove comments.
The last thing I can think of is it would be nice to be able to turn the autoplay off as a default setting. Now there may be a way to do this but I haven't found it yet.
Those are my thoughts on your changes as of now. I applaud your progression, I hope my input helped.
You should give us the option to discuss about the new YouTube layout in the "what's new section". Please make a bog so you can so how everyone hates it.
2 things I find very annoying in youtube, first is that new HD option button next to the volume button, everytime you try to adjust the volume it pops up and is actually hiding the volume button. The other thing is that sync login system for youtube and gmail, probably very helpful if you have one gmail account, but not if you have 3, as I do, it just keep asking me to login everytime I open youtube
My viewer counts rose dramatically after captioning. They showed up in a lot more countries. Google indexes the caption file, great for SEO. Well done Google Youtube! you guys are brilliant. Captionworld
There use to be mobile suit z gundam series in english on youtube and now there's not. Why were they taken off and will they ever be back on. If not can someone direct me to a site where I can watch them? If you know anything contact me at HallowSoul27@yahoo.com Thank you
Esto parecer ser una película de ciencia ficción cuando ya ahora la internet se convierte mas aun en una fuente de negocios y pues ahora YouTube lo ha mejorado bastante.
Pero ahora no logro entender porque YouTube solo ha puesto esa aplicación solo para quienes hablan inglés y no para otros idiomas. seria que hacer una aplicacion lleva su tiempo en traducir cada palabra que nosotros hablamos, pero realmente esto es increíble ver como este sitio ha llegado al final de un progreso, pero lo malo del sitio es que los canales beta están aun mas peores y quiero que nos regresen nuestro canales con el viejo diseño porque con el nuevo diseño no sirve y es muy difícil de usar.
seriously: i hate this new update. When i watch a video i cannot see the thumbnail of the channel i am watching. When i watch a video from my subsciption its start autoplaying subscriptions i rarely watch, because they rarely make something good. And There are no ways of seeing the video-responses. And the worst thing is that i am forced to use all of these changes which i hate.
This is a cool development by YouTube and I think the technology will continue to improve.
However, concurrent with this addition (rolling out to all users), it seems as if YouTube has set "always show captions" as the default for all users. While I can see that maybe this is a convenient way to draw attention to the new captioning features, content providers who have already been using captions now have their viewers wondering why they're being served captions all of a sudden.
YouTube, you could have (and should have) notified users about this.
They don't capture every word in verbatim I think they get about 75% right. What they don't consider is that words are spoken differently- you can get a Noo Yawk accent or a Texas twang in one word and the captioning will not get it right. Other than that-its a step in the right direction- its about time the deaf/HOH people are included! :o)
I absolutely love the auto capture. It's a bit sensitive but overall it's an awesome accomplishment. Surely it will help the hearing impaired to enjoy videos even more.
I am really happy that YouTube finally think about hearing impaired, I mean it offers all hearing impaired to have the ability to understand what exactly youtuber are talking about instead of having to feel lonely while other hearing people can hear what youtuber are talking. I am myself hearing impaired and this, I am looking forward to!
the audio captions arnt great no offence, they dont follow the the words that people say. UTTER FAIL! some people have accents, and the audio thing doesnt pick up the right words that they say. UTTER FAIL!!!
Greetings and first of all congratulate YouTube due to initiatives such as subtitling. However, I must indicate a problem with the new presentation of the subtitles on the main page of each channel on YouTube. For example, in the Channel UNED: http://www.youtube.com/user/uned appears by default when a video with closed captions, there is no way to leave. Only when you go to the individual page for that video is subtitled in the traditional way. Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQYeS27HOQ Although I reported the problem still unanswered. Please. I think it needs better media from YouTube to discuss such incidents and getting a timely response. Thank you.
i tryed this auto caption thing. and it sucked. the things that it put for the captions where TERRIBLE. its almost like if someone was making fun of my video.
automotive supplies, auto body parts, wheels/rims,remanufactured engines, automatic transmissions, used parts, or new body part , ll is here f or the all types of automobiles. Thanks auto used parts
“Interesting post, we shall be following your blog more closely in future! Best Wishes from Automotix”
Well... I've looked at the CC option and it doesn't make a lick of sense at all. I've watched videos where people speak slowly, clearly and with perfectly formed words and rather than 'Welcome to my video I hope you enjoy it' you get something like 'Welcome tomb have done no I hope Ewan said'. It's awful and needs fixing!
ya, it will shorten some efforts of mine too, i produce videos on make money on youtube and have to work hard to make them famous, surely will help me in this case.
I translated some videos to Hebrew using overstream.net. And youtube have blocked it. When "Auto-captions aren't perfect" and Google translator especially to Hebrew is lousy (up to a grade of opposite meaning), until these tools will be better, they should give some tool to add translation for foreign languages.
"Improving accessability",my asshow bout an easy way toturn off captions? PS,your new User and Video pages suck! How bouut an option for 576p on your videos too. HTML 5 sux,deosn't worrk properly.
I have been creating carefully translated captions using overstream.net, but Youtube has now blocked it. Youtube's tools DO NOT allow me to create the same level of high-quality captions that I created for my website babelsongs.com using Overstream, which allowed viewers to see Roman character transliterations together with English captions, that usually displayed below wide-screen video without overlaying it. Other copyright holders often authorized captioning and were thrilled with my work, which is now disabled. Please continue working on your captioning tools, AND PLEASE STOP blocking overstream.net from adding high-quality captions to Youtube videos.

Hey, why did you blocked Overstream...? Im very disappointed in you. Your own close caption feature is sucking. I cant understand how to use it. IT SUCKS. I want my overstream back. How dare you closed that account. Shame on you. Im hearing impaired and I used overstream frequently for the world to see my vlogs but you ruined my day already. Thanks to u for nothing. You are discriminating me (hearing impaired) I guarantee that. Why WHY why WHY??? did you do that by closing the overstream account. BITCH
I never believed Google will publish such a bad product even beta version. For example, in one of the videos, they say "seventy six percent". The speech recognition algorithm somehow omits the "seventy". Eventually it is translated to Hebrew to SIX percent. To my knowledge, there is a bit of difference between 76% and 6%. I have showed one of the Hebrew translations of the automatic captions to a person who doesn't know English. This was really funny situation. http://investor.google.com/conduct.html They write "Don't be evil." I'm not sure about it.
Stop blocking overstream Google politics is based in liberty, freedom and cooperation. It is not fair to block a good service like overstream. It doesn't violate any copyright. Hope you read this.
How about you stop "improving" as you say since the old YouTube is way better. First you force down on us the crappy and buggy layout which also was quite unattractive. Now you completely change the way a video plays and add captions by default which is annoying to manually disable. All your doing is making more users fed up. I know about 15 people who have left YouTube due to these stupid so called improvements. And this is only 15 I know, imagine all the hundreds I dont know who have left. Fine, if you want to bring in changes, go ahead, but give us the choice of what we like so people happy with the current one can stick with it. It's not too much to ask. YouTube is also starting to become a form of advertising now. The last thing users want is for it to turn into some sort of TV channel. You guys better start answering the queries us enraged users have and take action upon it. I honestly do not support Google anymore. Keep all the users happy in the future if you dont want to risk losing many users.
You should strike a deal with overstream.net. I had captioned many YouTube videos for deaf and hard of hearing friends (and the general public) before you decided to close off video access to third parties. This means, taking into account all the users of overstream, there are possibly hundreds or thousands of videos that are already well captioned, and wouldn't require correction, that are there for the asking...and if you allow access, overstream users, like myself would continue to generate more and more of them, at no cost to YouTube.
I really enjoyed the art of captioning detailed videos...you may not see it as an art...you may not care whether it is an art...but, there is a beauty to perfectly timed, accurate captioning. May I please have it back?
I agree with the above poster. I am happy that Youtube is taking proactive steps to making their videos accessible to everyone. However, the auto-captioning still has its flaws and Overstream has a user friendly interface that has been implemented for years. Please make Overstream exempt from the third-party blocked access enforcement.
Overstream and Youtube both have similar goals. Collaborating with Overstream is unlikely to conflict with Youtube's long-term goals.
Can anyone tell me if Y/T has redesigned my Y/T Channel page and functions? I can't comment or rate the videos I watch and they don't play without locking up or pausing unless my mouse pointer is on the play buttom.
Please reply on my channel comments section (Hamiltonrrw)I am thinking Y/T disabled many of my channel options because of a complaint.
captioning is good. auto-anything is not-so-good. i have currently have 33 videos that i manually added captions with the help of overstream. the majority of these fall into the music category. live music is going to be pretty hard to get right with auto-caption. hell, it is hard enough for me sometimes! many people have told me they enjoy that i put the captions. please allow overstream to work again! unless of course there is some magical tool on youtube that has the same functionality. i am willing to give the auto features a shot, but so far any it has either failed or will show garbage like "i...i..." out of several minutes of a song. please allow overstream.net to work. does anyone know of an offline tool i can use to create caption files from my original videos in the meantime?

Please stop blocking OverStream - the functionality is similar, yes, but different enough that what YT offers does not and can not replace OS without a major redesign.
Noo the new YT layout looks naked not enough lines it hurts me eyes like everything is to confusing when its all bare like this i like some of it but most of it is like weird DONT LIKE
I have got to say, while this whole captioning business is great for improving accessibility, everything else you've changed over the past few days/weeks has actually made site accessibility in general WORSE.
First of all, the removal of the multi-uploader. I have had the normal uploader consistently fail on me, randomly stopping videos, or deciding to fiddle with the descriptions or decide not to upload a video privately when I set it to. A friend of mine has also had one of her videos come up as a duplicate even though it was a brand new video. The removal of the multi-uploader, with no attempts to fix the one we're now stuck with, is a MASSIVE step backwards.
Secondly, the new video layout is HORRIBLE. Everything's all bunched together, and here's where I believe it's at direct odds with the captions. While captions improve things for the deaf, the severely reduced font size for the description and comments makes it harder for those with poor eyesight, not to mention that all the divider lines have gone, so all the comments are bunched together in a big text wall, and the indenting for responses has gone too, making it near impossible to gauge what's a response to what. It's a visual mess. The disappearance of creator avatars next to descriptions (like there were before) also contributes to this general ugliness.
The auto-play feature is pointless, and also horribly executed. The box is also glitched, so any attempt to see if there were options to stop the videos auto-playing or to change the order the videos do auto-play (the latter of which being the only thing that could make this feature useful) was met with an error message.
Not to mention the millions upon millions of other random glitches the site is now throwing up at me, making me feel like this whole new design is still in its beta stages (not helped by the laughable "transcripts" of the auto-caption). The site has become a chore to navigate.
Seriously, while the captions (despite their currently broken state) are a step forward, everything else feels like a step back. And judging by some the comments here, I am clearly not alone in thinking this. These issues really need to be addressed.
The comments were fine like they were. What you've done is made comments less interesting to read as it now looks very cluttered and all over the place. The comments section is one of the things that I read as you usually have someone posting some sort of funny comments however you've totally ruined this experience with this overhaul.
I don't want it to seem like I'm complaining because I'm not; I'm just giving feedback.
If you can please get comments as organised as it was before, so maybe per every comment there is some sort of border to identify each comment that would be great. The thumbs up and thumbs down should also be something permanent next to the username in the comments page. (Just like it is now if you don't go to "Read all comments" etc.
CAN YOU FIX THE CHANNELS PLEASE? I HAVE 5 VIDEOS BUT NOW I HAVE 10!!! SOMETHING IS CAUSING THAT, MY VIDEOS ARE REPEATED AND ENVOLVED BY A BLUE COLOR, MY CHANNEL IS NOT THE ONE, REVIEW AND FIX THAT PROBLEM PLEASE! ALMOST 2 MONTHS WITH THAT PROBLEM IS MORE THAN ENOUGH!
i am unable to download NPTEL videos please help me.Initially a was using keepvid & other stuffs but these are not working anyone please help me regarding this problem i would be really thankfull.
a ver yo no entiendo porque fué que ya no tengo la cuenta...No puedo entrar, q hice o que pasa??...Y HABLEN EN EL español, q el ingles no entiendo nada (Me cancelarón mí cuena google también...PUEDEN CHECAR YO NO TENGO NADA QUE VER, NO ENTIENDO
That attitude demonstrates unilateral power from YouTube.
Useful services like Overstream are blocked, and I have a few videos on my blog that are down, thanks to this shameful act from YouTube.
All the time I invested translating the videos are wasted, my visitors can't benefit from its content, and I'll have to go through a lot of processes to put it back on track.
YouTube is showing an arrogant and despickable lack of respect to their users.
This is a great move in the right direction. It's great that you can download your YouTube captions, fix them, then re-upload them to have perfect captions. I also use the YouTube captions and import them into MovCaptioner for the Mac so I can export as other caption formats such as SCC (for ipods and broadcasting), Flash, embedded QT captions, and also text transcripts as well. Makes for an easier work flow.
The new ads are driving me nuts i would start watching a video and an ad would pop up and end the video totally and there is no way of me going back unless reload and then skip that specific part (that area where it shows a yellow bar at the bottom of the video mainly) its driving me nuts i stopped watching a couple videos because of the main ad that stops the whole video. Youtube you seriously need to do something about this.
I am really disappointed with YouTube. Although you might be making it more accessible for the hearing impaired, you've made it significantly less accessible for the visually impaired. I am blind, and find it more and more difficult to navigate the site. Over the course of a few years you have made YouTube exceedingly difficult to navigate for those using speech software. I am very disappointed.
YouTube (and Google) has long been a flagship of the social importance of free content sharing and flow on the internet. Blocking Overstream (and similar) is against every principle you should stand for. Stop doing it!
Although Google's work on auto-caption is cheerable and admirable, it does not follow that you should block other efforts in the same direction. It is, by principle, plain wrong and something that we are not used to see in Google - you are not Microsoft! Other than that, you are destroying thousand of work hours of individuals that have been using Overstream with various purposes, including educational.
Youtube is crappier and harder to use than ever... way to fail youtube, way to fail... Also stop damn linking all my accounts to google, i have them separate for a reason
I really like YOUTUBE I just think if you could put more stuf on your channel it would be much better if you could make this happen more people would be on YOUTUBE so thanks hope you can do this.
I am not going to lie....I really dislike this new page. I can't find things as easily anymore, I really can't find my history (which I use constantly!) and the overal page just looks really bland and boring. It is unappealing to the eye and lacks the "depth" that the old page had.
IT's all right, but WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE NEW LAYOUT!?!
Please PLEASE change it back! No one who I know likes it, it's fairly messy, and everything's hidden. Easyer to use? My A**. Pleease change it back. Thank you.
(By the way, I'm sure about 90% of the rest of youtube agree with me.)
fuck you youtube you are fucking bunch of 12 year old kids. what the fuck is up with the new layout, we can't even comment without replying to random comments, what's with the "highest rated" shit, crippled blank white layout confusing piece of shit.
So - the best example of "speech that lends itself to auto-caption" was Obama's Chile earthquake speech, eh?
Out of all the BILLIONS of possible examples, they have to pick that one. Anyone else sick of all Obama, all the time, from every corner of the universe? :(
Excellent work YouTube Team. I hate timing the captions to the soundtrack, but I love translating them from Russian to English. Now I can leave timing to the computer and concentrate on translations. Thousand thanks!!
Hi. it is nice that you have added such a project, however it is not working (at least not the way it shoudl be). the camtioning is about 5% accurate. i captioned the obama speech about iraq war and it went like he was talking that soldiers do that and that and the caption went like "i cannot die" i almost fell of the chair. the caption feature is better than any commedy, cheers! now about the layout, you already ruined user prifiles with that "new" profile that shows one video and pretty musch decides that everything else is worthless. those that were around few years ago when it changed should know. now you ruined the video window too. your "copyright" bot has limited the amount movies could actually be edited (you cant put music on your video even though it woudl improve it and give free advertisement for the bank, which is idiocy, i though google was innovative, not one of those that are stuck in 20th century, you didnt had problem with google books now did you) so to sum all that, google is no longer the best video portal. it may be the biggest, but there are bunch of better ones. oh and why i cant "comment as" just youtube account? there is no such option so i ahve to choose google account. another stupid merging idea, your going the sihtty road microsoft is going.
I have problem loading my videos though after you change this...Either the video loads fully until the end. Then when I click to replay it, it wouldn't work and RE-loads itself. Another problem I encounter is that some shows it loads full but when I click to play it, it only plays for a few seconds then just stop right there. Then when I try to push the circle button back with mouse, the whole thing stops! I can't play it with the play button and it just doesn't move! Please fix this! TT
New layout sucks! Especially the comment section. There needs to be borders. Borders make things easier to read, not harder. Bring back the stars. So what if people only rate the videos they like? Youtube, you have taken a major step backwards with your "upgrade."
I have been creating carefully translated captions using overstream.net, but Youtube has now blocked it. Youtube's tools DO NOT allow me to create the same level of high-quality captions that I created for my classes using Overstream, Please continue working on your captioning tools, AND PLEASE STOP blocking overstream.net from adding high-quality captions to Youtube videos.
Another option for YouTube would be to buy overstream.net and to make it a part of YouTube.
Posting comments on youtube videos has always been an iffy procedure but now with the so called new improvments its down right spam central. the (post) button doest respond so you click, click, click..eventually finding that you have posted numorous times the same comment... nice going youtube. oh captions? lol
ha ha ha I get it ...it was April fools day. you changed the layout and made a joke like you always do ... but that day has passed ...you can chgange it back now ... pleese, pretty please ...
Few things i do really like is when you go to someones channel there video will start playing. Really like that! i like the Exit button on the subscriptions the ones i watched already pop up again i can click the x button BUT IT DOESNT WORK AH please fix that my subscription box is spazing i am not a fan of the Like thumbs thing i hate that or the under bar hate that to!
Hello! I have a problem with the captions. I have captioned almost all of my uploads but the captions are visible only when you see the video OUT of MY CHANNEL Page. If you are inside My Channel Page then the video dipslay a message: "Unable to load the: russian captions. This is my channel if you want to see the problem: http://www.youtube.com/user/josesotelo
I am not very satisfied with youtube lately. I translated several long videos (which I didn't own, but I asked & got permission from owner, Paula Gloria) into German through overstream.net which worked nicely, but only for two weeks, until youtube changed its API.
my hearing is really bad, the speakers on my computer dont work and the wires on my headphones keep getting stuck and breaking. i just dont know how to work the captions on videos or how to put them on my own videos
well in the words of Christopher Columbus, its easier to do something once some one else has already done it. i would start with trying to find old technology, cough cough, microsoft sam and disect the code that runs him and return the action
It would be great to see improved support for Captions. As others have indicated, the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.Aside from the usefulness for the deaf, captions make video searchable. cheap sharm el sheikh holidays
I HATE the captions and I HATE the new design!!! All of this makes my coumputer run far much slower than before, and the fast speed on youtube was the only reason I prefered it before! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take back the old version or give me the option to choose whether I want the new or the old looks and whether I want to see those awful captions at all!!!!!!!!
Once the auto-caption system is complete, there needs to be an easy way to edit the captions to provide more accurate CCs. Also the ability to align the captions left, right and center to show who is speaking in a particular scene.
OK, one important suggestion. When you search for a video the caption symbol comes up, which is wonderful. Could you do the same thing for the list of recommended videos that pop up when one is watching a film?

ReplyDeleteI've been hand-typing my captions for the last year on all of my uploads - and I've received countless messages from people more than happy with their availability.
ReplyDeleteOne thing though YouTube - for that that don't want captions... the fact that CC is on by default on all videos... it seems to be annoying my non-deaf audience. Now, *I'm* perfectly aware how to disable them, and permanently... but some/most people on this site aren't very bright.

I thank for advance thousand thanks for this system is very good and well used by all and for sure will do it better and better!
ReplyDeleteI wish them every success in the world
This will make writing closed captions for my videos much faster, thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteI think auto-captioned videos should require approval by the video owner before they are used. It doesn't work very well, but is great tool for those that are willing to proof read them to correct the Mexico steaks.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see improved support for CC. As others have indicated, the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.
ReplyDelete-Trevor
Please let them off by default and make it easy to turn them on.Moving on the right direction Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteWell, Recently,CC shows too late and dissapears too fast for me. Auto caption is better than normal caption in this matter. But still they are both grateful for me to understand what they are talking.

ReplyDeleteThanks for helping to ruin the livelihood of captioners, who have (like me) been making a decent living doing closed captions and subtitles in post-production houses. Yeah, yeah, I'm like the buggy whip makers after the automobile. But this was preceded by the migration of this work to India and other places, where $40 a week is a good living.
ReplyDeleteJust to note: these captions will always suck, because no machine will understand English completely. Non-native English speakers will not be attuned to the culture as much as necessary to get large parts of the dialog. And timing and fine-tuning have to be done by humans at least.
Aside from the usefulness for the deaf, captions make video searchable. Imagine, searching for a line of dialog you remember, but can't remember where you saw it, and you come up with the exact scene where that line was used. And tag film and you could come up with shots from a movie you saw as a kid. Finally, all this video on YouTube could be archived in a quickly retreivable way.
Technological change. Anybody want to buy my $13,000 workstation?
You should add a feature for partners where they can upload audio dubs of their current videos in different languages. Say I produced a video in English but I also have the same exact video spoken in Spanish. It would be useful if I can upload the Spanish mp3 and make the option available to switch the English audio with the Spanish audio on the player.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see you are thinking so much about your visitors and their comfort. It's really good to have support to CC and better quality. Keep it up.

To James, the professional captioner... please don't dispair! We look forward to you helping us make the icky captions better. How great it is that we have a much, much better starting point -- maybe if you work it the right way, you'll have many more smaller jobs correcting and perfecting captioning now!

ReplyDeleteHow about a collaborative, wiki-like, subtitle fixing mechanism?
ReplyDeletePeople can submit right translations to fix faulty ones.
There are a couple of things YouTube could do to greatly improve accessibility.
ReplyDeleteAs said earlier they need to provide a facility to allow alternate audio tracks.
Also annotations would be much, much more useful if the content owner had the option of switching them off by default.
This would allow the content owner to fill a video with transcription notes which are vital for accessibility. But because they could be switched off by default the notes would not bombard the majority of users.
Users that needed the transcription notes could turn them on just like they are able to turn on captions.
I think having these 2 would go a long way to making YouTube fully WC3 compliant.
Cool new feature! Thanks YouTube!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the very few features YouTube has introduced the last couple of years that can truly be considered an upgrade. Not only is it extremely helpful to the hearing impaired but it's an option, not something YT has forced upon people.
ReplyDeleteWHY WHY WHY can't you follow this principle all the time? Bulletins, beta and, soon enough, video pages continue the freefall You Tube is on. Even something as simple as auto play, which I will forever argue is a glitch, should NEVER be forced upon people as a default option for anything. Yet, the most recent blog update on the reworked video page wants to force playlists to auto play unless the user shuts it off. This makes no sense.
Although I'm not hearing impaired and closed captioning is of no particular benefit to me, it's a rarity for You Tube...something about which you can be proud to have introduced. Use the principle of bettering the You Tube experience, not worsening it, and try doing the same all the time. Don't force change, don't aggravate viewers, don't keep downgrading. It's a small glimmer of hope that You Tube does have the ability to improve. I wish it would be the rule and not the exception.
Whose idea was it to make the CC thing pop up right over the volume and then slowly fade out? Every time I try to adjust the volume now this thing pops up over it because I accidentally swept my pointer a half a millimeter to the right of the volume control.
ReplyDeleteI love youtube ;) Thanks YouTube!

It's wonderful that Google/YouTube is providing automated captioning. However, there are now multiple states of captioning for videos, which can be pretty confusing to the viewer because of how Google/YouTube is dealing with the CC button.
ReplyDelete1. In the videos that were captioned by hand, the text for the CC button is confusing. Alternate text should describe the visual image for people with visual impairments, and that how most of us have unconsciously been trained to interpret alternate text. Instead, the text for the CC button sometimes says: "turn captions on" or "turn captions off." The text should be changed to say "captions are on" or "captions are off" for the actual status, which would be less confusing.
2. A red CC button no longer means the captioning has been turned on, although it used to. Now it can mean that there is automated transcription available but the captions won't necessarily show unless the viewer turns them on. The color red for a CC button should only be used to indicate that captions are actually supposed to be showing. (This is what other video players are doing, like CNET.com.) A different color, like yellow or blue, could have been used to show that caption choices are available but not yet turned on. The color gray for the CC button is commonly understood to indicate that captions are turned off or not available.
YouTube Increasing its accessibility levels with regard to viewers that are deaf or hard of hearing, Google-owned online video service YouTube has this week opened its previously restricted auto-captioning feature to anyone looking to upload and improve video content on the site.

Captioning doesn't appear to be broadly available, but I've already seen some nice examples of it in action. Obviously, the better the audio in the clip, the better the auto-captioning. ~ iphone applications development
ReplyDeleteSome videos needs to improve with closed captions because they aren't on-topic when I watching a video game walkthrough it doesn't tell me what to do in the video.
ReplyDeleteok.
ReplyDeletegreat idea, but from what I've seen on videos so far, really poor execution. I mean, don't get me wrong, I know this stuff is nowhere near easy to implement, but when it's that buggy, I laugh; someone who's hearing impaired on the other hand, loses out on the meaning of what's being said, and in some cases might think the captions are accurate when they're not.
so for that reason you might get back to work on your algorithm, because otherwise it's going to do harm, instead of good.
i think its great that YT is nringing closed captioning.ive been adding it to some of my videos (the shorter ones) & am pleased with the outcome.if auto captioning comes out i say EVEN BETTER.
ReplyDeletesome people out there probably dont like CC but im not one of those people.there r people out there that cant hear to well or even completely deaf so i think its wonderful that video owners r given this option to add captions for those who cant hear to well or at all.keep up the great work YOUTUBE on this technology.u have my vote on it.....
youtube I love that you are trying to make new changes and alot of it is for the better but I've notice a few things that have inconvenienced my video watching experience that wasn't a problem before this change.
ReplyDeleteThe option to make the player smaller was quite useful to me at times where I had multiple windows up at once.
I love forming playlists of videos I watch frequently i.e. Angry video game nerd episodes. since the change though, I no longer have the option of making my playlist random, which is upsetting because I usually put on a playlist when I'm lying in bed and I just want my playlist to run randomly on its own. I dont want to manually click my videos out of order.
Also in the comment section you can no longer see how many thumbs ups or down a comment has. A minor issue but I as well as many people I know find enjoyment seeing the amount of thumbs ups and downs certian comments have. It is a very underappreciated tool. It makes you feel important when you recieve these thumbs ups and down, makes you feel socially accepted or an individualist when you rate another person's comment, and it adds a level of emotion to it, getting the watchers to debate and express opinion. Yes sometimes this can get out of hand but that is why uploaders can remove comments.
The last thing I can think of is it would be nice to be able to turn the autoplay off as a default setting. Now there may be a way to do this but I haven't found it yet.
Those are my thoughts on your changes as of now. I applaud your progression, I hope my input helped.
--Richard
what is this all about?? fish or chicken?
ReplyDeleteYou should give us the option to discuss about the new YouTube layout in the "what's new section". Please make a bog so you can so how everyone hates it.
ReplyDeleteI very much appreciate the captioning, but here's how I use it:
ReplyDelete1. Every video we shoot is based on a written script. Can't complain about computer transcription if we type it ourselves.
2. I then feed that script into YouTube, which takes care of the painstaking timing issues for me.
3. I download the CC file it created, make any slight timing tweaks, then re-upload it as a proper .srt file in English.
Thanks, YouTube, for shaving a TON of time off my work!
Right now it might be a little buggy, but I'm sure with time it will be getting better and better. Thanks YouTube! Cheers.

2 things I find very annoying in youtube, first is that new HD option button next to the volume button, everytime you try to adjust the volume it pops up and is actually hiding the volume button. The other thing is that sync login system for youtube and gmail, probably very helpful if you have one gmail account, but not if you have 3, as I do, it just keep asking me to login everytime I open youtube
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad that YouTube team or Google is doing it. Thanks very much. I'm deaf, so this will be useful for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice blog... web application
ReplyDeleteFake and gay!
ReplyDeleteThis has to be the worst update ever. The CC hardly picks up the right words. Please take them off or fix them.
ReplyDeleteHow about you also improve the new, atrocious, slow, inconvenient design?
ReplyDeleteMy viewer counts rose dramatically after captioning. They showed up in a lot more countries. Google indexes the caption file, great for SEO. Well done Google Youtube! you guys are brilliant.

There use to be mobile suit z gundam series in english on youtube and now there's not. Why were they taken off and will they ever be back on. If not can someone direct me to a site where I can watch them? If you know anything contact me at HallowSoul27@yahoo.com Thank you
ReplyDeleteEsto parecer ser una película de ciencia ficción cuando ya ahora la internet se convierte mas aun en una fuente de negocios y pues ahora YouTube lo ha mejorado bastante.
ReplyDeletePero ahora no logro entender porque YouTube solo ha puesto esa aplicación solo para quienes hablan inglés y no para otros idiomas. seria que hacer una aplicacion lleva su tiempo en traducir cada palabra que nosotros hablamos, pero realmente esto es increíble ver como este sitio ha llegado al final de un progreso, pero lo malo del sitio es que los canales beta están aun mas peores y quiero que nos regresen nuestro canales con el viejo diseño porque con el nuevo diseño no sirve y es muy difícil de usar.
I like captions!
ReplyDeleteseriously: i hate this new update. When i watch a video i cannot see the thumbnail of the channel i am watching. When i watch a video from my subsciption its start autoplaying subscriptions i rarely watch, because they rarely make something good. And There are no ways of seeing the video-responses.
ReplyDeleteAnd the worst thing is that i am forced to use all of these changes which i hate.
Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cool development by YouTube and I think the technology will continue to improve.
ReplyDeleteHowever, concurrent with this addition (rolling out to all users), it seems as if YouTube has set "always show captions" as the default for all users. While I can see that maybe this is a convenient way to draw attention to the new captioning features, content providers who have already been using captions now have their viewers wondering why they're being served captions all of a sudden.
YouTube, you could have (and should have) notified users about this.
They don't capture every word in verbatim I think they get about 75% right. What they don't consider is that words are spoken differently- you can get a Noo Yawk accent or a Texas twang in one word and the captioning will not get it right. Other than that-its a step in the right direction- its about time the deaf/HOH people are included! :o)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXZdhMyPHsQ&feature=player_embedded
Maybe it's my Australian accent, but the captions on my videos serve no greater purpose than perhaps a bit of added comedic value.
ReplyDeleteRunning an autism advocacy site, auto captioning is something that will be of great use and acknowledgment for my viewers.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the auto capture. It's a bit sensitive but overall it's an awesome accomplishment. Surely it will help the hearing impaired to enjoy videos even more.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
Absolutely appalling quality. Massively disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI am really happy that YouTube finally think about hearing impaired, I mean it offers all hearing impaired to have the ability to understand what exactly youtuber are talking about instead of having to feel lonely while other hearing people can hear what youtuber are talking. I am myself hearing impaired and this, I am looking forward to!
ReplyDeletePerhaps users should be able to edit the captions...this could be like Wikipedia!
ReplyDeleteExcept the excessive server load and spam would be too appalling.
Just an idea...
Let's have video posters edit the captions if they choose though.
the audio captions arnt great no offence, they dont follow the the words that people say. UTTER FAIL! some people have accents, and the audio thing doesnt pick up the right words that they say. UTTER FAIL!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings and first of all congratulate YouTube due to initiatives such as subtitling.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I must indicate a problem with the new presentation of the subtitles on the main page of each channel on YouTube.
For example, in the Channel UNED:
http://www.youtube.com/user/uned
appears by default when a video with closed captions, there is no way to leave.
Only when you go to the individual page for that video is subtitled in the traditional way.
Example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQYeS27HOQ
Although I reported the problem still unanswered.
Please. I think it needs better media from YouTube to discuss such incidents and getting a timely response.
Thank you.
THIS IS STUPID!!
ReplyDeletei think they need some work, not accurate at all
ReplyDeleteWhat if I don't want fucking "captions"?!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlogs are so informative where we get lots of information on any topic. Nice job keep it up!!

Well... I've looked at the CC option and it doesn't make a lick of sense at all. I've watched videos where people speak slowly, clearly and with perfectly formed words and rather than 'Welcome to my video I hope you enjoy it' you get something like 'Welcome tomb have done no I hope Ewan said'. It's awful and needs fixing!

ReplyDeleteI translated some videos to Hebrew using overstream.net. And youtube have blocked it.

How dare you closed that account. Shame on you. Im hearing impaired and I used overstream frequently for the world to see my vlogs but you ruined my day already. Thanks to u for nothing.
ReplyDeleteYou are discriminating me (hearing impaired) I guarantee that. Why WHY why WHY??? did you do that by closing the overstream account. BITCH
I never believed Google will publish such a bad product even beta version. For example, in one of the videos, they say "seventy six percent". The speech recognition algorithm somehow omits the "seventy". Eventually it is translated to Hebrew to SIX percent. To my knowledge, there is a bit of difference between 76% and 6%. I have showed one of the Hebrew translations of the automatic captions to a person who doesn't know English. This was really funny situation.

It is not fair to block a good service like overstream. It doesn't violate any copyright.
Hope you read this.
Really you tube is doing well .
ReplyDeleteHow about you stop "improving" as you say since the old YouTube is way better. First you force down on us the crappy and buggy layout which also was quite unattractive. Now you completely change the way a video plays and add captions by default which is annoying to manually disable. All your doing is making more users fed up. I know about 15 people who have left YouTube due to these stupid so called improvements. And this is only 15 I know, imagine all the hundreds I dont know who have left. Fine, if you want to bring in changes, go ahead, but give us the choice of what we like so people happy with the current one can stick with it. It's not too much to ask. YouTube is also starting to become a form of advertising now. The last thing users want is for it to turn into some sort of TV channel. You guys better start answering the queries us enraged users have and take action upon it. I honestly do not support Google anymore. Keep all the users happy in the future if you dont want to risk losing many users.
ReplyDeletePor favor, dejen,permitan que sigamos trabajando con los subtítulos de Overstream
ReplyDeleteStop blocking Overstream, please!
ReplyDeleteDébloquez Overstream, s'il vous plait!!
I HATE YOUR NEW LAYOUT
ReplyDeletePlease let people who use Overstream for subtitles to continue. Do not block access to Overstream overlay.
ReplyDeleteYou should strike a deal with overstream.net. I had captioned many YouTube videos for deaf and hard of hearing friends (and the general public) before you decided to close off video access to third parties. This means, taking into account all the users of overstream, there are possibly hundreds or thousands of videos that are already well captioned, and wouldn't require correction, that are there for the asking...and if you allow access, overstream users, like myself would continue to generate more and more of them, at no cost to YouTube.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the art of captioning detailed videos...you may not see it as an art...you may not care whether it is an art...but, there is a beauty to perfectly timed, accurate captioning. May I please have it back?
I agree with the above poster. I am happy that Youtube is taking proactive steps to making their videos accessible to everyone. However, the auto-captioning still has its flaws and Overstream has a user friendly interface that has been implemented for years. Please make Overstream exempt from the third-party blocked access enforcement.
ReplyDeleteOverstream and Youtube both have similar goals. Collaborating with Overstream is unlikely to conflict with Youtube's long-term goals.
Can anyone tell me if Y/T has redesigned my Y/T Channel page and functions? I can't comment or rate the videos I watch and they don't play without locking up or pausing unless my mouse pointer is on the play buttom.
ReplyDeletePlease reply on my channel comments section
(Hamiltonrrw)I am thinking Y/T disabled many of my channel options because of a complaint.
I LOVE THE CAPTIONING!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are so handy to have if you have a deaf person visiting your page and they can get in on the act with any kind of video XD
captioning is good. auto-anything is not-so-good. i have currently have 33 videos that i manually added captions with the help of overstream. the majority of these fall into the music category. live music is going to be pretty hard to get right with auto-caption. hell, it is hard enough for me sometimes! many people have told me they enjoy that i put the captions. please allow overstream to work again! unless of course there is some magical tool on youtube that has the same functionality. i am willing to give the auto features a shot, but so far any it has either failed or will show garbage like "i...i..." out of several minutes of a song. please allow overstream.net to work. does anyone know of an offline tool i can use to create caption files from my original videos in the meantime?

ReplyDeleteI have been creating carefully translated captions using overstream.net, but Youtube has now blocked it.

ReplyDeletePlease stop blocking OverStream - the functionality is similar, yes, but different enough that what YT offers does not and can not replace OS without a major redesign.
ReplyDeleteNoo the new YT layout looks naked not enough lines it hurts me eyes like everything is to confusing when its all bare like this i like some of it but most of it is like weird DONT LIKE
ReplyDeleteI've used it a couple of times and it only works when you talk slow....
ReplyDeleteI have got to say, while this whole captioning business is great for improving accessibility, everything else you've changed over the past few days/weeks has actually made site accessibility in general WORSE.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, the removal of the multi-uploader. I have had the normal uploader consistently fail on me, randomly stopping videos, or deciding to fiddle with the descriptions or decide not to upload a video privately when I set it to. A friend of mine has also had one of her videos come up as a duplicate even though it was a brand new video. The removal of the multi-uploader, with no attempts to fix the one we're now stuck with, is a MASSIVE step backwards.
Secondly, the new video layout is HORRIBLE. Everything's all bunched together, and here's where I believe it's at direct odds with the captions. While captions improve things for the deaf, the severely reduced font size for the description and comments makes it harder for those with poor eyesight, not to mention that all the divider lines have gone, so all the comments are bunched together in a big text wall, and the indenting for responses has gone too, making it near impossible to gauge what's a response to what. It's a visual mess. The disappearance of creator avatars next to descriptions (like there were before) also contributes to this general ugliness.
The auto-play feature is pointless, and also horribly executed. The box is also glitched, so any attempt to see if there were options to stop the videos auto-playing or to change the order the videos do auto-play (the latter of which being the only thing that could make this feature useful) was met with an error message.
Not to mention the millions upon millions of other random glitches the site is now throwing up at me, making me feel like this whole new design is still in its beta stages (not helped by the laughable "transcripts" of the auto-caption). The site has become a chore to navigate.
Seriously, while the captions (despite their currently broken state) are a step forward, everything else feels like a step back. And judging by some the comments here, I am clearly not alone in thinking this. These issues really need to be addressed.
The comments were fine like they were. What you've done is made comments less interesting to read as it now looks very cluttered and all over the place. The comments section is one of the things that I read as you usually have someone posting some sort of funny comments however you've totally ruined this experience with this overhaul.
ReplyDeleteI don't want it to seem like I'm complaining because I'm not; I'm just giving feedback.
If you can please get comments as organised as it was before, so maybe per every comment there is some sort of border to identify each comment that would be great. The thumbs up and thumbs down should also be something permanent next to the username in the comments page. (Just like it is now if you don't go to "Read all comments" etc.
Cheers.

ReplyDeleteThat attitude demonstrates unilateral power from YouTube.
ReplyDeleteUseful services like Overstream are blocked, and I have a few videos on my blog that are down, thanks to this shameful act from YouTube.
All the time I invested translating the videos are wasted, my visitors can't benefit from its content, and I'll have to go through a lot of processes to put it back on track.
YouTube is showing an arrogant and despickable lack of respect to their users.
SHAME ON YOUTUBE!
YouTube has grown greedy.
ReplyDeleteThey don't give a damn about their users.
This is a great move in the right direction. It's great that you can download your YouTube captions, fix them, then re-upload them to have perfect captions. I also use the YouTube captions and import them into MovCaptioner for the Mac so I can export as other caption formats such as SCC (for ipods and broadcasting), Flash, embedded QT captions, and also text transcripts as well. Makes for an easier work flow.
ReplyDeleteCheck out youtube channel wadeputtii Check out all the good stuff!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehas someone hacked youtube? the new layout is REALLY bad. can't automatically see comments or other videos by the user, what a mess
ReplyDeletePAH ~ THUMBS UP! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe new ads are driving me nuts i would start watching a video and an ad would pop up and end the video totally and there is no way of me going back unless reload and then skip that specific part (that area where it shows a yellow bar at the bottom of the video mainly) its driving me nuts i stopped watching a couple videos because of the main ad that stops the whole video. Youtube you seriously need to do something about this.
ReplyDeleteYouTube needs to unblock Overstream's access to their videos.
ReplyDeleteI am really disappointed with YouTube. Although you might be making it more accessible for the hearing impaired, you've made it significantly less accessible for the visually impaired. I am blind, and find it more and more difficult to navigate the site. Over the course of a few years you have made YouTube exceedingly difficult to navigate for those using speech software.
ReplyDeleteI am very disappointed.
YouTube (and Google) has long been a flagship of the social importance of free content sharing and flow on the internet. Blocking Overstream (and similar) is against every principle you should stand for. Stop doing it!
ReplyDeleteAlthough Google's work on auto-caption is cheerable and admirable, it does not follow that you should block other efforts in the same direction. It is, by principle, plain wrong and something that we are not used to see in Google - you are not Microsoft! Other than that, you are destroying thousand of work hours of individuals that have been using Overstream with various purposes, including educational.
You should seriously rethink it.
Youtube is crappier and harder to use than ever... way to fail youtube, way to fail... Also stop damn linking all my accounts to google, i have them separate for a reason
ReplyDeletewait...i dont get it
ReplyDeleteI really like YOUTUBE I just think if you could put more stuf on your channel it would be much better if you could make this happen more people would be on YOUTUBE so thanks hope you can do this.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to lie....I really dislike this new page. I can't find things as easily anymore, I really can't find my history (which I use constantly!) and the overal page just looks really bland and boring. It is unappealing to the eye and lacks the "depth" that the old page had.
ReplyDeleteHey Guys! Check out VALERIE VERG!!!
ReplyDeleteThis might just be the most useless option that you've come up with yet!
ReplyDeletethis new layout sucks hardcore!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the URL edit-box for users to copy the URL of video?
ReplyDeleteIT's all right, but WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THE NEW LAYOUT!?!
ReplyDeletePlease PLEASE change it back! No one who I know likes it, it's fairly messy, and everything's hidden. Easyer to use?
My A**. Pleease change it back. Thank you.
(By the way, I'm sure about 90% of the rest of youtube agree with me.)
BRING BACK THE STARS!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe new layout is horrible, fuck is this shit
ReplyDeletehahaha, the new layout might be the best april fools joke ever. good on ya, cunts.
ReplyDeleteStupidest idea ever. This 'upgrade' is beyond bad.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell whever this is a stealth parody of godawfull facebook redisignes or an atempt to COPY godawfull facebook redisignes.
ReplyDeletefuck you youtube you are fucking bunch of 12 year old kids. what the fuck is up with the new layout, we can't even comment without replying to random comments, what's with the "highest rated" shit, crippled blank white layout confusing piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteSo - the best example of "speech that lends itself to auto-caption" was Obama's Chile earthquake speech, eh?
ReplyDeleteOut of all the BILLIONS of possible examples, they have to pick that one. Anyone else sick of all Obama, all the time, from every corner of the universe? :(
nObama in 2012
You should turn it on, it gives funny subtitles xD
ReplyDeleteExcellent work YouTube Team. I hate timing the captions to the soundtrack, but I love translating them from Russian to English. Now I can leave timing to the computer and concentrate on translations. Thousand thanks!!

ReplyDeletego youtube
I Love youtube!.
ReplyDeleteBUT THIS NEW LAYOUT I DONT LIKE IT ONE BIT!.
I LIKE THE OLD ONE
PLEASE CHANGE IT BACK!
i agree the new youtube setup is kinda difficult
ReplyDeleteHi. it is nice that you have added such a project, however it is not working (at least not the way it shoudl be). the camtioning is about 5% accurate. i captioned the obama speech about iraq war and it went like he was talking that soldiers do that and that and the caption went like "i cannot die" i almost fell of the chair. the caption feature is better than any commedy, cheers!
ReplyDeletenow about the layout, you already ruined user prifiles with that "new" profile that shows one video and pretty musch decides that everything else is worthless. those that were around few years ago when it changed should know. now you ruined the video window too. your "copyright" bot has limited the amount movies could actually be edited (you cant put music on your video even though it woudl improve it and give free advertisement for the bank, which is idiocy, i though google was innovative, not one of those that are stuck in 20th century, you didnt had problem with google books now did you)
so to sum all that, google is no longer the best video portal. it may be the biggest, but there are bunch of better ones.
oh and why i cant "comment as" just youtube account? there is no such option so i ahve to choose google account. another stupid merging idea, your going the sihtty road microsoft is going.
am happy to see you are thinking so much comfort. It's really good to have support and better quality. Thanxx YOu tube TEAM.
ReplyDeleteI have problem loading my videos though after you change this...Either the video loads fully until the end. Then when I click to replay it, it wouldn't work and RE-loads itself. Another problem I encounter is that some shows it loads full but when I click to play it, it only plays for a few seconds then just stop right there. Then when I try to push the circle button back with mouse, the whole thing stops! I can't play it with the play button and it just doesn't move! Please fix this! TT
ReplyDeleteNew layout sucks! Especially the comment section. There needs to be borders. Borders make things easier to read, not harder. Bring back the stars. So what if people only rate the videos they like? Youtube, you have taken a major step backwards with your "upgrade."
ReplyDeleteI have been creating carefully translated captions using overstream.net, but Youtube has now blocked it. Youtube's tools DO NOT allow me to create the same level of high-quality captions that I created for my classes using Overstream, Please continue working on your captioning tools, AND PLEASE STOP blocking overstream.net from adding high-quality captions to Youtube videos.
ReplyDeleteAnother option for YouTube would be to buy overstream.net and to make it a part of YouTube.
Posting comments on youtube videos has always been an iffy procedure but now with the so called new improvments its down right spam central. the (post) button doest respond so you click, click, click..eventually finding that you have posted numorous times the same comment... nice going youtube. oh captions? lol
ReplyDeleteha ha ha I get it ...it was April fools day. you changed the layout and made a joke like you always do ... but that day has passed ...you can chgange it back now ... pleese, pretty please ...
ReplyDeleteCHECK OUT THIS VIDEO SPECAL ON wadeputtii I HAVE 700 CHANNEL VIEWS AND A WA.Y.
ReplyDeleteTO THE PEOPLE FOR TAKEING THE TIME TO VIEW MY VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!!
Few things i do really like is when you go to someones channel there video will start playing. Really like that! i like the Exit button on the subscriptions the ones i watched already pop up again i can click the x button BUT IT DOESNT WORK AH please fix that my subscription box is spazing i am not a fan of the Like thumbs thing i hate that or the under bar hate that to!
ReplyDeleteHello! I have a problem with the captions. I have captioned almost all of my uploads but the captions are visible only when you see the video OUT of MY CHANNEL Page. If you are inside My Channel Page then the video dipslay a message: "Unable to load the: russian captions.
ReplyDeleteThis is my channel if you want to see the problem:

WHERE'S THE HISTORY BUTTON!!?!!?!!?!!? D:
ReplyDeletePut it back you idiots!
ReplyDeleteHello, i think it would be good idea to add automatically repeat to videos,such as music,
ReplyDeletei think theres something wrong with the new youtube...........
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI am not very satisfied with youtube lately. I translated several long videos (which I didn't own, but I asked & got permission from owner, Paula Gloria) into German through overstream.net which worked nicely, but only for two weeks, until youtube changed its API.
my hearing is really bad, the speakers on my computer dont work and the wires on my headphones keep getting stuck and breaking. i just dont know how to work the captions on videos or how to put them on my own videos
ReplyDeletewell in the words of Christopher Columbus, its easier to do something once some one else has already done it. i would start with trying to find old technology, cough cough, microsoft sam and disect the code that runs him and return the action
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see improved support for Captions. As others have indicated, the accuracy leaves a lot to be desired.Aside from the usefulness for the deaf, captions make video searchable.
ReplyDeletecheap sharm el sheikh holidays
I HATE the captions and I HATE the new design!!! All of this makes my coumputer run far much slower than before, and the fast speed on youtube was the only reason I prefered it before! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take back the old version or give me the option to choose whether I want the new or the old looks and whether I want to see those awful captions at all!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate new YouTube layout >:(

ReplyDeleteHow can I ask for another transcription?
Check this out. Fun.
ReplyDeletehttp://digg.com/d31Nwnn
nice!
ReplyDeleteOnce the auto-caption system is complete, there needs to be an easy way to edit the captions to provide more accurate CCs. Also the ability to align the captions left, right and center to show who is speaking in a particular scene.
ReplyDeletemuito bom.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.classeaflex.com.br
OK, one important suggestion. When you search for a video the caption symbol comes up, which is wonderful. Could you do the same thing for the list of recommended videos that pop up when one is watching a film?
ReplyDeleteCraptions, guaranteed to be wrong and make everyone laugh.
