FAQs
Q 1. How do automatically generated captions work on X (Twitter) videos?
Answer – Auto-generated captions feature is created using speech recognition technology. When you upload a video on X platform, the platform analyzes the audio and transcribes it into text. This transcription is then displayed as subtitles (CC) on the video.
Q 2. Do all videos on X get auto-generated captions?
Answer – No! Auto-generated captions only appear on videos that have spoken audio. However, if a video has no sound or the audio is unclear or too noisy, they won’t appear because the speech recognition system can’t process it properly.
