    I guess it could, but implementing it in a decentralized system is probably more complicated at this point than having computer generated ones.

        Also true. There’s a lot of enthusiasm in the Fediverse about writing alt texts, so who knows! It’s a lot more work, but similar ballpark.

          I feel like Cunningham’s law can be leveraged here. If someone spots a mistake in a computer generated caption and there is an option to correct it, someone will correct it!

          Any corrections could also be used to train (hopefully open source) speech-to-text software.

            Yeah, having an option to suggest corrections to captions would probably be much more popular than actually writing them from scratch. I doubt it will be high on the list of priorities, but it would be a neat feature for sure.
