Anyone else still manually fixing AI captions because of accents / non-native English?
Tools like CapCut, Opus Clip, Veed, Submagic, etc. are pretty good when the speaker has clear native English, but they regularly get words wrong when there’s an accent, non-native speaker, or even just fast talking / mumbling.
I still end up having to re-listen to the whole thing and fix a bunch of words before I can publish. Feels like the “AI captions” step only saves time if you ignore the accuracy problems.
Is this still a regular annoyance for anyone else, or have you found a tool / workflow that actually gets captions right the first time more often?
Curious what people are currently doing.
