@davidgerard sound really bad for accessibility... I guess TTS tools will beas confused as AI scrappers. 😢

@Preuk Subtitled videos often already have an audiotrack where you can hear the same stuff the subtitles read.

But yes, people that still need screen readers to tell read them subtitles would be very much caught in the crossfire.

I'm genuinely curious though, what are cases where someone needs TTS on subtitles?

@Optional @Preuk it’s sometimes referred to as “audio descriptive” - same purpose as alt text on images

@jpm @Preuk

Hm, I know Audio descriptive as an additional audio track where a narrator describes what's on screen.

Is that the same thing, but in text form?

@Preuk these are subtitles for a spoken video

@davidgerard @Preuk It seems like it could be a problem if the audio language and subtitle language differ.

@davidgerard sure, but i often rely on subtitles to acces content faster. Watching a 10 minutes video to get a page worth of content seems awfully wasteful to me.

Maybe I'm old...
