How can I learn to subtitle/caption or to translate? (lemmy.ml)

Is it pointless given that software does or will do it automatically? Certainly not everything is subtitled. I have subtitled short videos, but it took me a long time, what if I wanted to try to subtitle a movie? Is there a faster process? What guidelines or standards should I follow? Are there any educational materials that you recommend?

I'll appreciate any kind of comment, thank you!

Doing it manually is definitely burdensome, better use some software. Idk which software to use really, but speech recognition is a common problem, I'm sure you will find something. You need software to run locally in order to transcribe a long video for free, there are such solutions as well.

I doubt that online transcribers will transcribe long videos without pay. AFAIK speech recognition is computationally heavy.
