Dropbox Product ManagerWeb Videos now supports auto-generated Video Transcriptions + Closed Captioning
Hey folks!
My name is Derrick and I work on a team that improves the file preview and viewing experience at Dropbox. We are excited to announce two features on Dropbox.com to enhance your video...
This is a very useful addition and works well with one caveat. There seems to be no way to edit a transcription. Thus a very useful possibility is
immediately voided since no auto-transcription is without errors. I have now tried it several times and each attempt was about 85% correct. The
problem is that the errors were serious "wrong" or "combined" words - misspellings of names, places, and or sound-alike words. Thus I cannot
actually use it. I hope that you can figure out how that can be corrected and then it would be a delight to use the function.

Thank you for your feedback! We have noted this internally and will actively look into adding this feature in the future.
