Happy Twentieth! To mark the Twentieth of April, here is a special episode of the Lucretius Today Podcast: Episode 224 - "Special Reading - The 1429 Letter of Cosma Raimondi - In Defense of Epicurus."
Is there any way to make subtitles available on videos, it would make it much easier for those who understand little English. Thanks.
This could be very useful. However, the results which I have seen in other videos' subtitles created by software which converts speech into text contain a lot of wrong words so far.
We use Temi for doing transcripts of our podcast at work. It's fairly accurate, but we still have to go through and correct names and other words. And it's not free, of course.

Thank you JM for the comment and to the responses.
I definitely agree that this is desirable and i will appreciate comments on other options.
The main affordable option i am aware of is to upload a media file to youtube and let it do the transcription and then hand-edit them afterwards.
But I also see and like what people are doing on videos on Facebook / TicTok /etc where the word that is spoken is highlighted as the voice goes forward - i have not even seen a hint on how that it is done.
This is definitely an area where i would appreciate input from any and all or our tech-savvy people. We have a lot of old material that would be good to convert over time, plus we can get started on making new material the best way.
Here is info for Youtube:
