be nice if VHTV had subtitles with the option to turn on and off when viewing a cam.
Auto subtitles would be hysterically bad. Like they are on youtube. probably provide some funny screengrabs of garb__d nonsense, but the sound isn’t good enough in many places for anything like that to work properly. it’d be like when Siri or Alexa interpret your conversation and interrupt with something completely random and unconnected.

I agree with Albion - auto subtitles are notoriously bad, and besides YouTube, a lot of local TV newscasts use them, and they come up with some of the craziest garb__d nonsense that is sometimes wildly unrelated to whatever is being said. It would be better to have a VHTV staffer fluent in both Russian and other languages commonly used here (English, German, Spanish, etc.) to translate in real time, like UN translators do - but I’m sure that would be waaaayyyyy too expensive, time-consuming and impractical. Best thing to hope for is that users who speak and understand Russian can occasionally step in and provide some information whenever we think it’s critical.
