... Just like any speech recognition application, auto-captions require a clearly spoken audio track. Videos with background noise or a muffled voice can’t be auto-captioned. President Obama’s speech on the recent Chilean Earthquake is a good example of the kind of audio that works for auto-captions.

When video creators now choose a platform to upload their video, a feature like this – well in sync with Google’s stated mission – could make all the difference.
