iPad video + Youtube's procedural transcription = hilarity

Shauntron

So I didn't know this before, but for a little while Youtube has been procedurally generating captions for videos. Only, it almost NEVER comes out right. My iPad video is no exception, and the results are ridiculous.

The people's on the first episode of the fight for being called sam & max the devils white house.

In the pete wilson many rid of it, but the safety rivals the usual three.

That is amazing. I can't wait until all videos have that feature. I've had so many lulz over it.

I had some fun with the transcription of the Devil's Playhouse a few days ago. Fun stuff.

Ribs

The Trailer for the playhouse is hilarious because when he says 'Ancient, terrible powah' it says canada.

The Gentleman

Canada's not THAT old, is it?

What.

I love Youtube's translator.

Shwoo

I wish that was available on more videos. Mostly because it's hilarious.

My favourite of that video was "a five part game" being subtitled as "a fight for being". Deep.


Here, I transcribed most of the mistakes on the iPad trailer, with what I think they were trying to say:

The Penal Zone - the peoples of, the peoples on, the pete wilson, heels of

Telltale Games - Judy

the iPad - the line, the young (below), the other hand

Sam and Max are - sandy masur

longtime rabbity companion - longtime had to be completed

I embrace change - race change

That's hobos - that's hopefuls

Embrace hobos - graceful by point

General Skun-ka'pe - general scowcroft that

A space ape bent on obtaining - the spacehab interrupting

a five part game - the fight for being

The Devil's Playhouse - the devil's whitehouse

Playing the Penal Zone is easy - when the beatles on his knees

on the iPad - among the young

To move Sam around - the camera

drag your - trigger

you want Sam to go - he wants him to do it

a virtual joystick will appear - but the actual Jewish state

that the epitome of this - tap the item you wish to use

and tap - in fact

touching two fingers to the screen - simpson's finger sucessfully

clues - things

that - next

alien spaceship - kathie lee's may six

want to get to the part - went to the heart

Max, he's the rabbit thing - many rid of it

has crazy psychic powers - but safety rivals the

shapeshift and see - she ship cindy

To access Max's powers - the axis max is power

just tap - just can't

hand corner - Clinton and Gore

play in - clean

you like - line

Vertical or horizontal - we're going to resign

supported - so forth

For iPad - apartheid

Playstation - police station

(drum beats) - yes

That is so hilarious! I rarely crack up at things when viewing them by myself, but this is one of the occasions that I am. Brilliant, just brilliant!

Tales of Monkey Island Season Trailer

Prepare to meet you frosty, carbonated maker LeChuck! - Prepare to meet your rusty dominating the headline yes

Oh this can't be good - No this can't be

Mind if I get your pirate on the street opinion about the death cloud? - It's like it to be higher on the street opinion about the problem with that plan

That was the pox of LeChuck - that too was dubbed talks of that shock

Of who who the what now? - of of whom who the white man?

To eliminate the pox of LeChuck, you must seek out La Esponja Grande - To intimidate deadlock's objection, you will not seek out and I saw all the job done

Eh, this'll be a snap - as abuse

The Marquis De Singe wants that hand of yours so I'm bringing you in -The mighty do things like that hit yourself I mean you liane

Use what? - You swallow

Claw thingy - lost eighteen is

Hold that pose while I get my camera, okay - Well that was only a beginning

Less plunder, more bunny please - Well yes wonder more money please

Arr harr harr - Harry

Haha, those transcriptions are ridiculously, fantastically bad. Easily the biggest laugh I've had all week - thanks!

I really hope this transcription feature never makes it out of beta. Improving the accuracy would be like killing a fledgling form of comedy.

Hayden

Much agreed. I guess we'll just have to make the most of it at the moment.

Hayden

The Inside Gaming interview with Mark Darin has some funny points as well.

GinnyN

Pete Wilson! I laugh so hard with that one!

Hassat Hunter

Hilarious!

I don't know if it's just the British accent, but the auto-captions on my video The OTHER Secret of Monkey Island were absolutely side-splitting, and utterly unrelated to what was being said:

the new year the twenty years, Davis had been fascinated by one is the secret of monkey on it all began with a gain by this man wrong guiltless and its sequel shops revenge it's clear that simple to the world monkey
on stand on but before he could make use the that was true the last week that rolled that the so is taking his secret with him as export reduced one poll in external fuel by the ending its second day is that the whole world of monkey on in reality it's it's we've been asking all the product of a child they were active imagination.

the many find this interpretation deeply I'm satisfied not least because of shock he's evil minds well that's the thing that I mean the emotional and the ignoring many who is an ongoing family history

they're not as unusual the up a secret of months the one of the key races all rome's monkey on and games was this man, Tim shea fair.

he went on to found to spend company and make the critically acclaimed it's like us.

the klan enters the so-called just money various just the individual us each year leaning the world hot seat

and then he really sees actual this

hi it was

what's it is unlikely the shape that matters will be seated full it provides a fascination we wish to view the offensive monkey on

so fight, it's the speak team, mitchell of levels

the line, hello, this

they're think he's done that shot is really going for us is in deep political trouble

but why should the eight donner and blitzen?

he explains this kind of restrictions she hopes his soldiers amount of solving them

and when they were kids

in the fast-growing rated by allowing them

let's say scheming talked at length of their profits he's got a lot of issues and has thought

was in the hands of individuals ultimately defeated in two war

but actually treats is in the mind of God the the it's the child's

it says nothing about his mother

we're going to need about his relationship to go in

in fact this reason to believe that China is solving its problems in contrast not nation at large

we see that his parents night things making sure you something he's stepped down

as if that wasn't enough there's evidence that even some of them may not have that information

the guidebook most five adopted by his mother had some point before

what I think she became that schools her douglas believes that they had abandoned, the challenge they strenuously on

our get easily overlooked is the fact that they have paid to be Jackson

would it be to great and the of the imagination to suggest that perhaps they will but kill the theme park?

by the very people they won't going to have to watch and full eating him alive

one with now

now I hear you say that I am not time yourself think there's very no it's not demands

yes hello

and nightmare with such a traumatic cost who could blame God Russia succumbing to his community?

perhaps his quest Clinton the all it's bailey a masterful his minds extra go, although the suppress secrets of his past

guided by his psychologist by the fall of the tracks time what about Americans the chest

it's symbolically appears to contain his polish nemesis that shot himself

for seen standing on the very small of the shock to contain

it also contains and the tickets any bearing the image of that disney counsel

what happens to the occasion of his parents on on the act

it still leaves many questions on said

well I've got to have both parents

how does the elusive and maine

these angels is and how much would would deal with childhood would jobs and jobs

but perhaps has been so slow to stand placed upon the ultimate question is does

it was is of money

I especially like the two LucasArts employees mentioned: "Wrong Guiltless" and "Tim shea fair"

Irishmile

I was going to get an iPad just for this game... but now I am not because its not able to be played diagonally.

Hayden

I see you've since added your own captions. Some of those are great though, I loved:

In fact, there's reason to believe that Chuckie's father is not Guybrush's blood relation at all - in fact this reason to believe that China is solving its problems in contrast not nation at large

It symbolically appears to contain his arch-nemesis LeChuck himself - it's symbolically appears to contain his polish nemesis that shot himself

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood - how much would would deal with childhood would jobs and jobs

By the way, didn't you say that you had a friend that gave you a lot of information which you were going to include in a third 'Secret' video? How's that coming along?

Best line from it:

Actual Words
Guybrush: Let's go defeat that evil pirate
Edward Van Helgen: We know he's sure to lost 'cos we know just where to fire it

Interpretation
Guybrush: Let's go to the that evil Iran.
Edward Van Helgen: We know we stand to lose as we know it just sort of Iraq

I'm starting to think that these transcriptions are aimed for political viewing purposes.
