   I do, often, if the captions seem accurate. I am hard of hearing but not totally deaf.

     @grahamperrin @sidereal @howisyourdog @bedast Here's a video I watched yesterday; roughly speaking, the captions were accurate maybe half the time, nonsense about 40% of the time, and wrong ten percent of the time. Does that not count as substandard accessibility to you?

     You transcribe, so I assume you're not hard of hearing. Does anyone in this thread actually rely on captions, or is it just hearing people debating what's good for D/deaf and hard of hearing people?

     @sidereal I can't comment on the time taken to edit video.

     As someone who occasionally transcribes: I assure readers that the time required to transcribe can be enormous — COLOSSAL — compared to the duration of the audio or AV content that must be listened to, repeatedly.

     I can not speak for @howisyourdog but I typically don't bother with content that lacks captions (subtitles). Substandard accessibility is an immediate turn-off.
