Caption Availability
Some videos do not have captions available and will require the user to take further steps to access a transcript. In these cases, a message similar to the following will appear: "This video has no captions available. You can still get a transcript by downloading the video's audio and uploading it using the 🎙 Audio Upload tab above." The user is solely responsible for obtaining and uploading audio content in such cases, and for ensuring they have the right to do so in accordance with applicable copyright and terms of service.
Accuracy of AI-Generated Content
