@elthenerd Do you only want us to answer if we need the captions? For me the captions being auto generated or non existent is not a big deal but that means I'm not the target audience.
Also, is there an option where they get posted with rough transcripts and later corrected (possibly crowd sourced)?
P.S. Thank you for doing this hard work! I have often found it to be the case that editing audio / transcripts / etc takes much longer than actually generating it, which stops me from making more content than I otherwise would have!
