Very good, I didn't think I would be able to follow it but the subtitles were spot on.

It did cross my mind Jim, so glad you got to enjoy it.
Cheers Andy

How do you know?
Although that is a bit of a giggle, I admit, it's also a serious thought. How do you know when the sub-titles with which you are presented are an accurate reflection of what is being said?

Very true Steve, some of the funniest things I hear/see are the CC for many german chartcuterie videos, what they tell you to do with meat is extreme at times

Well they have to make sense, which is why I can't watch your u tubes

As a matter of interest were the subtitles edited or just auto generated?

They are certainly auto-generated. I could post a screenshot of an example but it might get me banned

Touché!

Seriously though, I see some online stuff that is presented with subtitles, where the subtitles are perfectly reasonable English (well, American, anyway) but they are not what is actually spoken. I saw one the other day. It was a perfectly understandable error, but inaccurate nonetheless. If I could remember what it was I'd post a link.
