The process of automatically converting audio from video platforms into written text for videos in a specific language enables wider accessibility and understanding. For example, software can analyze the speech in a video of a lecture delivered in that language and produce a corresponding text document.
This functionality is valuable as it allows individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to access the video content. It also provides a means for viewers to quickly search for specific information within the video. Historically, creating transcriptions involved manual labor, but technological advancements have led to automated tools improving efficiency and reducing costs.
