Generated subtitles for video does sound useful. Sometimes actors mumble so horribly, I don’t understand a word they’re saying.

Wonder if it can translate it too.

My biggest gripe with Netflix is that they only have like 3 languages and no auto translation. And even bigger gripe is that it's because of the union racket. They apparently need to pay hundreds of thousands for something computers do for free. Insanity.


It's licensing and/or product decision, not union labor.

I guarantee you for most (if not literally all) titles you see, they actually have more subtitles, they just don't / won't show them to _you_.

Netflix has gotten pretty good at VPN detection, but you used to be able to see this _very_ clearly by VPNing to a different country in the EU, and the available audio and subtitle languages changed dramatically.
