Wow, Google speech recognition for Youtube videos is pretty accurate

So normally I don't turn on the transcription for videos because it's just so off, but I was watching this video and tried it out to see if I could understand more of it:




Of course, there are definitely mistakes, gaps, etc. but I was pleasantly surprised that on average about 50% of it matched :o

P.S. After watching this video I'm pretty thoroughly convinced that it doesn't matter what language you speak, you better still have something good to say because if you just talk about crap you don't know it's going to be obvious even if you're completely fluent (see: bumbling students in video)
