A lifetime of thinking that companies can reimplement cool tech they have in use somewhere else in a place that it would be even more useful has left me disappointed in the possibilities. I’m not familiar with Pixels because I don’t use them, but even if I took you at your word that it is automated captioning that works, I wouldn’t hold my breath that it will show up on YouTube just because Google has the tech on a Pixel.

It’s not like companies like Google have never had technical regressions either. Their core service, Google Search, is less useful to me than it was 10 years ago.

So people with hearing problems need to buy a Google Pixel phone to enjoy their Google Youtube video? Smells very fishy to me.

Plus one to this. I was pleasantly surprised to the point of being spooked with the quality of transcriptions on my pixel phone.
